| that's not an IPhone or IPod? I would like to get something for my DD (11) because she loves music, but I don't want to get her a phone or anything with access to Internet (not quite yet). Do such things even exist these days? What the Walkman of today? |

| Scandisk makes an MP3 player with a radio. $30 works great. Our kid loves his. |

| CD player? Phonograph? Maybe the OP can be more specific about the requirements--price, portability, format, etc. |

| How/where will she buy her music? |

| Not portable but my son had an echo spot and amazon music unlimited. |

| You can use an iPod without giving her internet access. |

| I always listen to music on my iPhone but you really want to hear the sound of Billie Eilish piano chords or other musicians, home devices are better. |

| Echo Spot for my kid. It’s great for getting rid of “but I need my phone playlist to fall asleep” argument. |

| How does the Echo Spot work? I am debating between that and an IPod that I control with screen time rules. |

Just got an ipod shuffle type mp3 player. You can still get on one ebay or get something similar to the shuffle or nano like:

Just a normal mp3 player is good. I like the kinds that are made for runners. |

| Can kids use Spotify with mp3 players? |

No. MP3 is very outdated. Get an Echo Dot, then use Spotify. A refurbished one is super affordable. |
