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.
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 €13 on aliexpress, but that broke a day or so ago (rip).
No SD card, no headphone jack.

all of those usbc - 3.5mm adaptors have been utter shit in my experience. even the fancy expensive “official” ones crackly and disconnect.
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 €13, 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!
