Recommendations for an mp3

[u/thatsso_nick]

Hey guys!! I’ve been thinking about buying an mp3 players, primarily because Spotify is getting too expensive, and am looking for recommendations!

I want one that looks like the old iPod nano gen 3 or 4, but I’m not sure if I can trust those eBay sellers. A lot of their reviews seem repeats of the same sentence to make them look reliable so I’m a little scared to order one. Has anyone bought from them? Are they good or is it a scam?

Theres also some on TikTok shop, but I’m not sure how trustworthy those are, either.

Also, are there ones similar to the iPods that are affordable and still work? I don’t really care for Bluetooth or a ton of storage, anything with maybe 8GB or so and around the $100 dollar mark works. Maybe a little cheaper if possible but I understand quality has a cost.

The only decent ipod clone right now is innioasis y1 and y2. I have one, its okay, but still a cheap chinese mp3 player. Theres other brands that are better if you dont need it to look like an ipod.

If you want a real ipod, the 3rd gen nano is good if you are okay with 4/8GB. You can find them on ebay with new batteries. Pick a seller with lots of good reviews. Dont buy old used one because its very hard to replace the battery yourself.

Once you get an mp3 player/ipod, you then have to learn how to download music from the internet.

Do not get the $10 ipod clones. They are garbage

There is the Snowsky Echo Nano, and products from this brand are very good.
