I pretty much only ever used the remote; I have to keep remembering how to use the main controls.

Fortunately, you can do everything you need to do with just a headset plugged into the device. They didn’t ONLY put the controls on the remote. I’ve seen iPods and a lot of televisions do that.

I do end up using my phone with a set of ANR headphones most of the time, but the time may be rapidly coming when I do away with smart phone life and return to tradition.

I have a Rio Volt SP-250. A CD-MP3 player I’ve had since 2001. The in-line remote died somehow but the unit itself works flawlessly and is in excellent condition. It runs on AA batteries; originally they were rechargeable but they were Ni-MH cells. I don’t know where its charger went, but I can run the thing on Alkaline batteries or charge Eneloops in a separate charger.

It long outlasted the iPod it replaced and is still serviceable to this day.
