I'd probably say something like my Sony Discman or any other CD player, if we're talking the general public. CDs aren't anywhere near as popular as they used to be thanks to streaming, but if you're collecting like I am, a dedicated CD player is a necessity.
I hate that music nowadays is supposed to go through my phone. I'm on my phone constantly. It's ridiculous that I can't do that while listening to music. A dedicated music player is essential.
Although I eventually gave up on CDs and now I just use an old phone.
Those impracticaly large fragile things, failing in cars with the slightest shock? Never cared for them.
Casettes you could throw around, tape them if necessary.
Later minidisc for a short time and digital mp3/flac... So no thank you, like DVD's spoiling plenty of movies by giving up in the middle due to a tiny scratch these things were a mistake.
