Please Recommend an Android Mp3 Player that sounds good ≤$200

Hi.
I was using an old Android phone as an Mp3 player and I could have multiple folder players save my place for multiple audio books and songs. But then the battery finally became useless.

Then I bought a Ruzu Mp3 player. It sounds good but the software is glitchy and not what I want.

I looked on Amazon and there are a lot of sub $200 Android players but I have no idea if any of them sound good.

And so, I am asking here for recommendations. I don't need the latest and greatest obviously. Just something I can load player apps from the google store on, has a micro SD slot and it sounds decent.

Thanks for any useful suggestions!

I'd get a phone with a 5,000ma battery and a $9 USB to 3.5mm Apple adapter which sounds really good. For budget you could get a Moto G Power and big SD card plus the adapter for simplicity.

The new Hiby M300 looks good.

Cheers!

@fidgeraldo Those seem to have pretty bad reviews on Amazon.

Those seem to have pretty bad reviews on Amazon.

I think that R5 Gen 2 is quite controversial, too, but I love mine.
