Does anyone use an MP3 player that they'd recommend?

Does anyone use an MP3 player that they'd recommend? It needs a 3.5mm jack. Preferably small, with buttons rather than touch, but willing to compromise on that.
I've searched but they're mainly unknown (to me) brands with mixed reviews, or second hand, which probably means the battery won't last long.
@nicelady I'm not familiar with current MP3 devices, but I remember @joel talking about his device and wrote a blog about it. Maybe this will help some.

@Firewire in terms of new stuff, I still need to figure it out really. I used to buy from play.com but that was a long time ago and looks very different now. Still have an archive and BBC podcasts are easy to download, at least. Is there anywhere you'd recommend?

These guys made all kinds of cool ones back in the day, I expect their cheng ones are still good. They likely still play every format on existence.

@nicelady the zen nano plus is fantastic, though its storage is only 1gb. It uses a single AAA battery, and is not much larger than the battery itself. Rechargeable AAA batteries work well in it, too. Mine still works well, and I've never considered getting rid of it.

@nicelady @jalefkowit Astell&Kern, Luxury & Precision, Hiby, Cayin, Lotoo & iBasso to name a few (various price points, sky is the limit)

@nicelady i use a SanDisk clip sport plus. Also FM radio, physical buttons more or less waterproof, mini-jack even bluetooth if you want to. Funny, when I search for it I get a Wolfgang player. The SanDisk is at least 7yo..

@nicelady bought a cheap Chinese one off Amazon that I use in my car. It has Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack. Also has a speaker.

@nicelady Cowon were very good 20 years ago and still exist, so they must still be OK.

@nicelady @jalefkowit I cannot say enough good things about older SanDisk (formerly Sansa) MP3 players, especially if you're willing to put Rockbox on them.
The e250 in particular is a brilliant device. It has a hot-swappable microSD card!
@SnoopJ @jalefkowit I remember really wanting one of the early Sansas, they were neat!

Many thanks to anyone who shared or commented here. Lots of brands to look into, and it's always fun to share some tech nostalgia. I always run my tech into the ground so a bit sad that I don't have more old stuff to work with!

@nicelady They played Ogg Vorbis files too.

@shwnwllms @jalefkowit some pretty aspirational choices there! Hiby might be an option, thanks for sharing

@nicelady I was about to suggest The Tangara, but apparently it's out of order
the main idea was having something open source... -

@nicelady and it looks on the expensive side, despite the materiails used...
