Which mp3 is good for a ten year old boy? How would he get music onto it? I have Spotify premium. But don’t want to pay for albums etc

Bump
I want one with no internet access and the ability to only listen to Jewish songs
Also cost friendly
Is there such a thing?

I have had this for years for the kids:

And it’s been dropped hundreds (tens of thousands?) of times. Before that, I had others that kept breaking.

I use a micro SD card to put the stories my youngest likes (this kid isn’t into music) onto it, and we keep it on the micro SD mode. It can also be used with a USB. It also is an FM radio, but I know my kids have zero interest in that aspect.

Thank you!
I did a search online and it seems because I have Spotify premium I can download music and convert it and then put it on the mp3 or something like that.

sounds great but the issue is that you own the music. OP is saying that she doesn't want to purchase music. my kids have the 24/6 and I love it. it does have some technical issues but overall it works great. I did have to pay I think $100 for the device and then a fee monthly but it's worth every penny. you could probably get rid of Spotify premium and just pay for the 24/6.

I like Spotify premium because I did listen to general music (although I haven’t since October 7) and it’s easy to use but that’s something to consider.

I looked into 24/6 but it seems very very very expensive to be honest. To pay so much for the device and then pay monthly and have to pay more per device is super expensive. My kids have devices that cost $20-$30. I buy music if needed and it's saved on a file on my computer. Takes five minutes to put on the device.

My kids all have mp3s. Cheap models from Amazon. Works pretty well. I have replaced if necessary though.

You buy music to download? Or you do it from Spotify?

I have lots of CDs from long ago I ripped to the computer and still have. Otherwise sometimes I buy albums or find free downloads. My kids are specific on what they want and I look for those songs. I have naki radio premium in my house which has a ton of music so they use mp3s mostly out of the house.
