I've got this Hiby R3 Pro that I don't love, next to a Playdate for scale 
The Hiby is nicely compact and has great battery life, but it's really slow to start up and *really* slow to update its database after I add music. And the UI and queue management are pretty terrible.
I loved my iPod Classic, and I used it all the time, but it went to family years ago. I've had a couple other players, but the only other one I loved was my chonky Creative Nomad Jukebox. It was too big to carry around much, but it was great for car use.
