I post this because I have noticed that on Amazon, for example, that it is the largest marketplace in the world, if you search for an mp3 you will only find ones of very dubious quality and strange brands that no one knows with very strange names, I have tried two, and both have presented failures in the first week.
If you look closely, there are none that have a rating of 4.5 stars or more, as is usually the case in all the sub-ranges of products available in the site, and no recognized brand manufactures them either, for example, Apple left the market when the iPods in my opinion were a very good product for the company, Sony with a normal mp3 (ipod style) it is found 4x the price wich mp3s usually have and it doesn't offer much storage either, you also have another option from Sony but much more expensive and of dubious quality for the price (dac poor quality sound for price), as can be seen in a review that can be found in this forum, and for example, Sandisk only manufactures, with a limit of 32GB wich is a joke if you're willing to use it for listening to your library.
You can also find mp3 also on Aliexpress but most of them are garbage, I myself bought one that was very nice looking at a price of 90usd and it already have 3 problems.
A good brand could be Fiio but it costs a lot of money, there are also other good brands (some of them better than Fiio too), Fiio is not the only one, but they are equal or more expensive.
Many will say that mp3s are no longer useful since you can put your entire music library on your phone and enjoy the same or higher quality, but the truth is that mp3s are important to me since I want them as an alternative to get rid of the distractions that the phone brings me, like the minute you look at it, whether to change songs or something, you unconsciously start looking through Google or any other app and the truth is that it is annoying (on top of that, they removed the jack). I'm just looking for a product that gives me concentration and less screen time to isolate me from the distractions of which there are many that we experience on our phones, like for example when tiktok came it changed all, it is a shame with his methodology, in this era, you no longer decide for what you look for, the algorithm is in charge, you cannot even decide what content is going to shape you, on top of that in a system designed to cause addiction and without limit of scrolls, it is a shame (and what's worse, this model has been applied in all popular applications) (also nowadays you can't find shit in google, if you search something it's always the same 3 or 4 sites and all the millions that exist are hidden).
I know the last sentence wasn't about what this post is about, sorry.
