There’s probably a hundred options. With Screens, without screens, can play video, 60GB, 80GB, 128GB.
You can EASILY still buy what we used to have (mostly even better) for $20-$40
You can still buy phones with headphone jacks.
At a point, collectively, we cared. We all bought at least a few things that eschewed enshittification. But eventually, for most, wireless headphones and not spending time curating our music won out for most.
I still have all my shit downloaded. Playlists on fleek. I stream it to myself now but could easily copy it to my phone.
But I don’t have an itch to have a stand-alone MP3 player anymore. Nor a pocket camera.
If pressed, i’d consider making an mp3 player out of an ESP32, but there’d have to be a compelling reason for me to do it.
hit up amazon, search mp3 players
