I've got Amazon music app on my phone I can't imagine needing any more music than that offers me, millions and millions of songs in every genre.

I don't have, want or need a smart phone as they do not meet my requirements and I certainly wouldn't use one for music anyway. Phones are for phone calls and texts, unless you want one the size of a small country

My iPhone is nowhere near the size of a small country. Despite being packed with 100’s of podcasts, 1000+music tracks, photos too many to count.........plus all the other useful things it does. Really can’t see the point in having a pocket full of phone, MP3 player, camera, diary, photo album, kindle, map etc etc 😃

I’m also a phone person.

My phone does everything I need so the MP3 player bought many years ago before the advent of smart phones is stuck in a drawer somewhere

Oddly my handbag is still size of a small elephant and packed to the brim

I'm the same with Google Play Music - have around 30,000 songs uploaded plus all of Google's millions, too.

As for the other stuff....I wouldn't be carrying any of that unless I was moving house.
