budget bt mp3 player

[Ghosted Muzik]

first off i couldnt figure out if this belonged here or the phones tab, 

im  looking for a bt mp3 player, i see a bunch from cheap to straight audiophile grade which is way out of my budget, i mainly play 320kbps mp3 or wav or flac for my higher end stuff. only looking for something due to my vehicles get used as free music at gatherings and having to leave my phone in the vehicle does suck. been looking for an older used samsung phone since samsung music player works so great but havent had luck and for current prices locally i could do a budget hifi player.

looking to stay under 150$usd would like options from budget to decent.

havent looked at players in years, upgradeable micro sd slot is a huge plus

one i have been looking at but can never tell with reviews

Does your infotainment system not have USB?

 

I keep a 128GB thumb drive plugged in with a ton of albums.

There's loads, but I'd probably go with @Deeya's suggestion. Most decent decks will have a USB port (assuming you have a decent sound system).

For budget players, do you want one with a large screen, or small?
If you don't care about size, get something like a Shanling m0. They're $100.

You could also get a used HiBy R3 pretty cheap on eBay. They're about $120.

Alternatively you could just get a used phone. Wouldn't even have to worry if it's black listed or not.

i had an s7 and a umidigi power 3 for both music and backups, mom needed the s7, after 2 months it died, and now has my umidigi so no longer have a phone, been  looking, and yes, the radio has 2 usbs currently plugged in but i cant do all folder shuffle, my old pioneer could but ive had major issues with unwanted noise of alt wine with pioneers so i run kenwood excelon now in all 4 vehicles. but ill check out your options

Can’t you just use your phone?

buddy picked up the surfans f20 with surfans headphones cause he lost his 256gb usb i sold him and currently testing yeah it blows my moto power phone out of the water using just 10$ skull candy inks, then it really shines with its included headphones, even the bluetooth sounded better but wasnt as loud, will test on my radios later
