So I actually cancelled my Spotify subscription a month ago after using Spotify for ten years (I got the Spotify birthday thingy a day before my sub came to an end and it confirmed I have used Spotify since 2016 as a paying customer, which feels insane). Main reason is honestly because it's too expensive these days, but also I don't like the stuff Spotify has been doing these past years (if you know you know, if you don't pls Google I don't have the energy to go into details of everything). Also my newfound tech interest gave me the big push to do it finally because I had decided to start using mp3 players again.
Anyway, I mentioned to my mother that I was looking old mp3 players (or old phones to turn into dumb phones with music) from thrift shops. And she goes "oh I still have that old mp3 player we bought for your brother when you were teens that he never ended up using at all. Do you want it?"
And io and behold I got it today, plugged it in to load the battery and it indeed works! And it's an old Philips Gogear Vibe which seems to be very easy to get music load into it and use in general!
