iPod Classic alternative?

I didn't realize how hard it would be to find the iPod 7th gen 160gb after it was stopped being made. I can't find it anywhere. First question, where can I get a brand new iPod classic 7th gen 160gb black for less than $150 in the U.S.? If not, is there any other device that can store that much music with the same or better sound quality for the same or less price?

If you already have a smartphone, why not get a 128gb micro sd card

But if it's a cheap android it will have bad sound quality most likely.

Do you actually need 160gb or were you just looking for a high capacity player? The Fiio X3 with a 64gb microSD card is around $200. You'll get much better sound than any phone you could plug into.

 

Scratch that. Go with the X1. $100, supports up to 128gb microSD card.
