MP3 Player with Bluetooth and WiFi,MP3 Player with Spotify,Spotify Kids,Audible,Pandora,Amazon Music,4" Music Player MP4 Up to 1TB(80GB,Black)

I have an S23 Ultra that is way too big and heavy for keeping in my pocket at the gym.I've spent a good bit of time weighing my options for a portable player that supports Spotify and has bluetooth and wifi.I've thought about smart watches, refurbished iPods, "dumb" mp3 players (maybe I can live without Spotify?). And of course, the many Chinese sub-$100 dollar devices, that all seem to have either 5 or 1 stars.I was clearly in analysis-paralysis mode, and decided to just take a flyer on this one. For $63, and hopefully returnable, what's the worst that can happen?Well, I'm glad I gambled. This thing is perfect. Form factor that's small enough to barely notice, even in my pocket on the treadmill. I was able to easily get on various wifis, connect to my bluetooth headphones, and stream my Spotify. Battery life seems OK - it can definitely go for many hours between charges. It gets a little hot when navigating with the screen on, but it's fine streaming music with the screen off.Yes, the interface is a little unusual. But I was able to learn it quickly enough. Yes, it's a little sluggish just navigating around the UI. But not too bad, and I've had no issues streaming playlists.The device is locked to just the apps listed in the specs (and apparently no option to side load). You can organize your home screen just like on any smartphone. You can delete apps, but if you realize you want an app back you'll need to factory reset.On the security front, I am a little sketched out that this device manages its own updates, and who knows what Android security is or isn't there. But because I'm just using it stream music, I'm choosing to ignore possible attack vectors by just making sure my passwords are unique to my streaming app and not shared with any other accounts. I won't be using the included Chrome browser for anything. There's also some kind of music filesharing app that you can install on your phone to share files with this device - I'll be staying away from that as well. All of that said, I want to be clear that I am not suggesting there's anything insecure with this particular device. But in today's world, you need to be extremely careful.Lastly, the included paper manual is surprisingly thorough and is written in good English. I recommend reading the manual before starting to play with the device; it's the rare case where reading the manual would have actually saved me an hour of poking around. I was not expecting this from such a cheap, practically throw-away device produced in China. I hope more companies start providing proper manuals like this one.I just started using this device so I'm leaving 5 stars for now. In case I start having glitches I'll come back and edit my review. I don't expect this thing to last many years, because who knows what becomes unsupported in some future software update or bluetooth/wifi spec change. But if I get even a year out of this, I'll be pretty happy.EDIT: I've run into a problem that a bunch of others have commented on, in that the device seems to brick itself after being fully discharged. I've had this happen too, and found the solution is to use a lower amp charger. I have a fast charger for my phone, which seems to work fine for regularly charging this MP3 player. But when it's fully discharged I find the fast charger no longer works. So I simply use one of my slower chargers and after a few minutes it has enough charge to turn on.

Where do I start- bought this and a 1 TB sd card. The plan was to put my ancient iPod onto a new device. Software is crap and even with the ton of space available lots of the music was not showing up on the device. When I took the sd card out and looked at it on the laptop it was there but not on the device. I had certain albums that I selected to check on the device and the card when I put it in my laptop. Transferring music isn’t obvious I spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I spent HOURS copying my music onto the as card first and then trying to get it to show up with the album picture etc. if you are just downloading music off of apps I’m sure this is fine but not for what I needed. I deleted off many of the apps. That came on the device. Which you can bring back with a factory reset but that will whipe everything on the device. I had to google how to do it. Two of the methods didn’t work. I did that after I couldn’t get my music to load properly. While I was trying to figure things out the device got VERY HOT. I would not recommend letting your kid fall asleep listening to it in bed, keep on a cool surface. It was alarming how hot it got both in my hand and with it sitting on my work table. I ended up returning it and getting a refund due to the difficulty of getting my music on to it, less than helpful customer service. If you are doing strictly streamed music then this would probably work for you but not for someone that has a large amount of music to load onto it. I thought with the 1 TB of space it would run fast and I’d have plenty of room to add more music. It just isn’t up to the task. The sound wasn’t great, sounded cheap and tinny. Never used the earphones or the radio function. I contacted support about the files not transferring over and missing files and they didn’t really address anything I mentioned. A few screen shots were sent late at night of things that I had figured out on my own by the time they got back to me. I would not recommend because of the software and the fact it got very hot which I wouldn’t recommend for kids.
