</span>I can think of that famous product [by Mr.Jobs ;-)] which rocked music<br>
player concept several years back.<br>
The tiny music player with white ear-in headphones.<br>
The newest version of that player is available in matchbox size which<br>
don't have any screen but amazing battery life as it just plays music<br>
that too via headphones.<br>
Also, those player variants are compliant with specific standards i.e.<br>
less harmful to ears & other parts of body. Of course maximum volume<br>
damages ear.<br>
<br>
Other than that,I can immediately think of that famous Japanese company.<br>
They still makes good music players.<br>
<br>
If you can wait till July end, don't bother to grab the 2017 version<br>
of that classic phone company's phone from 90's which was the king of<br>
Indian mobile phone market.<br>
And yes the revamped model is compatible with mp3 format.<br>
Ofcourse it has FM radio too & that classic snake game ^_^<br>
<br>
I personally prefer just a music player without touchscreen but with FM radio.<br>
These days there are tons of FM stations in Pune.<br>
There is new 95FM channel which most of the time plays classic Hindi songs.<br>
<br>
<br>
