I love standalone MP3 players, mostly because I don't like carrying my phone around with me at the gym or when I go out running. Right now I use a AP-60 II by HIDIZS. It was about $100, and perfectly fit into that sweet spot between the dirt-cheap questionably functional $20 models and the $1000 audiophile players. Sadly it looks like HIDIZS ceased to be a company at some point so once my current players and the spare I picked up for $50 die I might be out of luck.
