I know. We've got our phones that can do all this. Why do we want a dedicated player?
One reason people go for devices like this one is for the experience of listening to music with no interruptions or distractions. No phone calls, no notifications, just a little break away from the world to enjoy some of your favorite tunes.
Another reason is battery anxiety. It's a real thing from some people. The ability to listen to music without worrying about running your phone battery down can bring peace of mind and absence of worry.
The third reason isn't really a factor at this price point, but higher end digital audio players have much better quality DACs and other components than are found in phones and the listening experience can be much better with the right source material.
Fosi is a respected Chinese audio brand and isn't fly by night. You could do a lot worse than this one if you're looking for something inexpensive.
I like these DAP's because I pop the sd card out, reload and unload music via Explorer, and move on. Phone stays in the pocket
Community Reviews
The Fosi Audio DAP Neo is a compact dedicated music player aimed at distraction free listening, with buttons, wired audio, and microSD based storage for offline music. It fits use cases like work, workouts, yard work, plane rides, and keeping a separate player in a car or gym bag, while also avoiding phone battery drain and notification interruptions. The comments also note support for M4A and Apple Lossless through the CS43198 DAC. The main cautions are that storage is card based rather than built in, the bundled card may be low end, Bluetooth uses a basic codec, and early firmware bugs are still a concern.
Commuters who want distraction-free music, because a dedicated player avoids calls, notifications, and phone battery drain.
People who keep a separate music library on microSD, because the card can be swapped and reloaded without filling phone storage.
Travelers taking long flights, because a pocket player can hold a large offline library without tying up a phone.
Gym and outdoor workout listeners, because a smaller player is easier to carry and less worrying around sweat, rain, and bumps.
Buyers expecting built-in storage, because the player runs from a microSD card and has no internal memory.
Listeners who want Bluetooth-first convenience, because the built-in Bluetooth is limited to the lowest codec and lacks higher-quality options like LDAC.
People who want a polished first-release device, because early firmware can still have bugs and missing features.
Shoppers who only need battery backup, because a power bank is cheaper and more useful day to day.

Ever since the ipod touch days I always noted how dedicated music players was a lot thinner and not as bulky as actual phones. Back then I also had a cheapie android phone that I used kind of like a dedicated mini tablet/video/mp3 player purpose. And it just wasn't as inefficient in doing what I wanted because it's memory was tied up to other things.
Plus I don't take my phone to the gym or when I workout outside. Too bulky, don't want it getting drenched in sweat, wet from the rain or banged around, and I won't care as much if it ends up missing.
That's where these type of devices are of value for me and why I picked up some cheaper ones a couple of years ago. Wanted something like the Sansa Clip. The FM radio is loud, even on the lowest settings. But other than that, suits my purposes fine.
This one posted is a bit more expensive than what I got but I assume better quality too.
As far as downloading music from Spotify or Amazon Music for use in the Neo, Google AI says this:
Amazon Music subscription downloads are encrypted, locked inside the Amazon Music app, and cannot be exported, transferred to external storage (like an SD card or USB drive), or burned to CDs.
You can buy individual tracks and albums from Qobuz or Amazon, maybe others. There are projects on github to download music from the various streaming providers, but it is legally questionable. I use a Windows app called Streamwriter to automatically record my favorite Internet radio stations and listen to them later. For an iHeart station, search the web page source code for the Shoutcast link and paste it into Streamwriter.
