Recommend a new portable music player with NO wireless functionality at all (Bluetooth or WiFi or any other wireless technology) (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

As per title really. I'm looking for a new small music player that will play MP3 and FLAC files. Preferably that takes a large SD card, otherwise has at least 128gb of storage. I want to be copying files directly on to it in a file browser and for them to play in the right order (I have a player that plays in the order the files were copied on to it, which is full on madness). I have no interest in iTunes and I run Linux as my computer OS.

Also needs to be less than £100.

And I really mean no wireless functionally at all, I don't mean "includes Bluetooth but it can be turned off".

New?

I highly doubt that exist.

Mainstream?

Nope.

Best recommendation off of the top of my head?

Used iPod mini that you flashmod and put Rockbox on it. then you put the files directly on it from what I can tell.

The lack of hardware BT and WiFi is too restrictive of requirenments these days, and to be honest I don't see the point of such a restriction, but eh, I am not the one looking for a device like that.

yep, commoditization + SOC means youre not going to find this hardware with no radio. op is looking for a unicorn or an antique.

Isn't stock iPod OS good enough? I remember it being instanteneous for things like playing next songs, or switching albums. That's what I never experienced ever again. For YouTube Music it sometimes takes few seconds to play the next songs and it drives me crazy.

OP didn't want iTunes

You don't need iTunes to upload music to iPod, although it's still not as user friendly as opening it as regular storage device.
