Early last year I bought a cheap iPod classic and modded it with 512 GB of storage and a bigger battery, then installed Rockbox OS on it so it can read FLAC files and connect to my PC like a regular USB drive (none of that iTunes crap). I’ve daily driving it ever since, and I love it a lot. It changed my relationship with music, as now I listen to it without interruptions from random notifications on my phone.
