I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.
But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I use one every day. I could probably write an essay on why, but one reason sticks out: tactile buttons. It’s great to be able to skip a track without having to poke around on a screen to find the virtual button.
I just do that with my headphones. Skipping, volume, play/pause.
Or on my watch.
Don’t you still need to press a virtual button?
The Motorola one vision has a feature that if you hold down the volume button it skips and gives you a vibration as feedback. I miss it so much on my pixel 6 with grapheneos
Oh yeah, I have that on my Samsung as use it religiously. I was asking about if it was possible on a smartwatch.
It has a twist bezel and two remappable side buttons. OG galaxy watch
I have a Galaxy watch 4! Unfortunately the two buttons can’t be mapped to media controls.
The Garmin sport watches have buttons for that, at least the Fenix series (the newer versions have additionally touchscreen support).
Tactile buttons are the main reason I got one too! It’s getting hard to find new Digital Audio Players that still have physical buttons (and that doesn’t run Android). I ended up getting a Sony NW-A55 a few years ago and i love it.
