Anyone know a good modern day MP3 player? (lemmy.ca)

I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.

I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.

Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.

The iPod Classic 5-7th gens are still pretty popular in the media player scene, All can have their storage modded and batteries are still available plus replacement shells if you care about cosmetic condition.

Cost more than new ones(not iPods) from Amazon/eBay etc but I'd imagine most of those are sealed and not easily serviceable.

For Bluetooth, there are adapters but no experience with those personally.

I have a gen 5 with 1TB storage and a larger battery. My only complaint is the connector. I'll replace it with USB-C eventually.
