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".

If you're fine buying slave-labor import, I found a "MECHEN M30 HiFi MP3 Player" on AliExpress for about $45 USD. Pretty good reviews all things considering. No wireless that I can tell, 256gb microSD support, headphone jack out.

These kinds of standalone "hifi" portable media players will be the only things that support memory cards and "no wireless" like you're asking for. And even then a lot of them include Bluetooth, if not just for remote control support, as well as audio out.

Looks like a good option. Thank you

Of course.

Keep in mind YMMV on their firmware. People seem to be happy with it but I don't own one so I cannot say how well it will perform, but I am at least assuming it can handle normal Playlist sorting and other things you need.
