Even aside from that i genuinely think a music player still makes sense as a product.
Nowadays we could trivially make it tiny and convenient, you can fit a stupendous amount of audio on even a cheap SD card, and having it as a separate device means you’re not using up the battery on your phone and you can be more flexible with connecting it to speakers and stuff.
And of course just like the ipod you can also do video, and now that we could actually put in a decent display you could actually see the fucking content.
