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.

    Yes. I used an iPod classic forever but my newer car didn’t play nicely with the old software. So a few years ago I bought the newest iPod touch 256GB from 2019. This software works much better through the USB cable so I can read and control the iPod through my head unit.

    I just love having a dedicated music player always plugged into my car. Phones are a hassle to have to set up every time getting into the car and then my music getting interrupted by texts and whatnot. I also listen to a lot more podcasts than music on my phone while I’m at work. But I like the fact that I can hop back in my car at the end of the day and my music automatically resumes from where I left off earlier, no matter what else I had been listening to on my phone in between. That’s the best experience for me.
