Portable Music Player (lemm.ee)

Intro

For quick context: I still use a digital music player (Sony Walkman NW-A45) frequently. I am not super fond of this player for reasons.

I have looked around for a while now, and I personally cannot find any suitable solutions (both new or old). I am curious if there exists anything that I might have missed, I would love to know about it.

The Short List:

Handles large media libraries
MicroSD Support
Preferably no network connectivity
Properly handles ID3 v2.4, Vorbis tags (A45 FAIL)
Handles album covers in a sensible manner (cover.png, embedded) (A45 FAIL)
Live play queue editing (A45 FAIL)
Preferably Sub-$300 USD

I did some research and the Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ (but only certain models, specifically the ones with Exynos processors) seems like a good option. They're officially supported by /e/OS, have an SD slot that supports up to 400 GB, have a headphone jack, and can be easily found for under $300.
