Recommendations for cheap HD audio players with audiobook support wanted

Doitsu · Today, 03:11 AM

Unfortunately, my SanDisk Clip Jam died. I've found some cheap Chinese players, but according to most reviews, they tend to ignore metadata entries, play tracks by modification or creation date or by filename, and don’t resume playback from where you left off, which makes them useless for audiobooks.

It's curious. They all seem more expensive than my phone (I use Musicolet – it "remembers" file position). I had a tiny player and a large Archos years ago and I can't find any sane replacement for a small player with a decent UI.

Also such a thing with no WiFi would be good for grandchildren not allowed WiFi. They have a cassette and CD/DVD player!

Oddly no modern equivalent for cassette audio books (remember position when media in a different player). Cassettes are inferior to CD for music but far superior for audiobooks.
