I only use spotify for discovering music.

I then download it (lucida.to is the best tool I have used so far) or buy it.

I got an mp3 player for like โ‚ฌ13 on aliexpress, but that broke a day or so ago (rip).

No SD card, no headphone jack.

Both not problems that prevent me from using my phone as an MP3 player. I have about 1000 songs on there and plenty of storage free, plus a USB-C to 3.5mm stereo jack adapter. I just keep the dongle attached to the end of the headphone cord and it's fine.

all of those usbc - 3.5mm adaptors have been utter shit in my experience. even the fancy expensive "official" ones crackly and disconnect.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Currently waiting on a fucking 3.5mm to bluetooth just because i can't trust any of the usbc adaptors I've bought.

it's definitely much more than โ‚ฌ13, but if you're the right kind of nerd for that kind of thing, there's Tangara

I've seen a lot of good things said about tangara. I'll look into it, thanks!
