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.

Shame you can't buy it without any storage at all save a little more money.

If you stream your favorite artist using a premium subscription they are paid directly out of your subscription cost, not ad revenue.
This is also true with youtube premium. Rather than paying your favorite artist pennies from a free account, you are paying them dollars.
Apple music + Apple TV is only $5.99 a month or whatever and it's really easy to sign up for a student account
A typical new artist makes about $1.25 per cd sold.
So you'd have to stream the song fully 450 times before the artist makes more from streaming than a cd sale.
Well established / high selling artists may have different calculations, but they make more from concerts, merchandise, etc.
Anyway, I have built up my playlist for work, it's about 10 hours long and everyone enjoys the music. I can just leave the phone and not worry about notifications. I also got a free SIM card from Spectrum for the year, so I'm just using it to upload some of my videos at concerts on YouTube. There's a lot of great uses for a second phone, and the 512GB is terrific. I have over 120 days worth of music.
I tried a cheap MP3 player, but it didn't work well and I just gave up. I've had like 10 iPods and I'm just used to using iTunes. The older iPods I bought aren't really working, but I can always transfer the music if I ever really try, and can just leave it in the car.

They take your monthly subscription cost, divide it by who you watch/listen to and directly divide the money based on the percentage you watch/listen to each creator/artist.
If you only listen to one artist for one month, they will give 100% of your allocated money to said artist.
