I didn't realise these things existed, but here we go.
There are a number of Chinese MP3 players on the market. They run on Android, and look like touchscreen smartphones.
They come with apps for most music streaming services (Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.), stream over wi-fi, and can also store your own music in MP3, FLAC, etc. Music stored on a MicroSD card.
UK prices seem to be £50-£100.
For me, I have an iPhone, and getting locally stored music on to that...let's say it could be easier. I have an old FiiO DAP, which is nice, but is only for locally stored music, no streaming apps, and no Bluetooth for headphones.
These basically look like an Android phones, but smaller and cheaper, and without the phone. So, in many ways, very much what I'm looking for, as it's a simple way for me to combine Amazon Music and locally stored music in one device.
I have seen a review online saying it runs on Android 9.0, which is quite old (I'm really not up on android, sorry). So longevity might be an issue, I'm guessing.
The Nth degree of quality isn't an issue - I will be using it with Bluetooth headphones, after all.
I just wonder, would a cheap Android phone be better/more future-proof?
Anyone, does anyone have one? Comments, etc.?
Cheers. Here's an example.
