There was a time when almost everyone owned a dedicated MP3 player. Then smartphones arrived and slowly replaced many of those devices. For a while it seemed like standalone music players had disappeared for good. But something interesting has been happening lately: modern MP3 players are making a comeback.
However, these are not the simple devices from 15 years ago. Modern players often include Android, WiFi, Bluetooth and even access to streaming services such as Spotify.
A good example is this 1080P Android 13 MP3/MP4 player with 96GB of storage, currently available on AliExpress for about €61.39 including VAT.

What makes this device interesting is that it works almost like a small entertainment device focused on music and video. Think of it as a mini tablet designed mainly for media.
In this guide I will explain:
– what this player can actually do
– who it is useful for
– how it compares to older MP3 players
– what you should consider before buying
Why a dedicated MP3 player still makes sense
Many people now use their smartphone for everything: music, video, messaging, social media and navigation. But that also means the battery drains quickly.
A separate music player allows you to listen for hours without affecting your phone battery.
Another benefit is fewer distractions. Without notifications constantly appearing, it is easier to focus on what you are listening to.
This type of device can also be useful for children. The player includes parental controls, allowing parents to limit apps and screen time.
For music lovers, support for high-quality formats such as FLAC, WAV and APE is another advantage.
What makes this model stand out
This device runs on Android 13, which is quite unusual for an MP3 player.
That means you can install apps such as:
Spotify
Amazon Music
Pandora
YouTube Music
Audible
In practice, that makes the device a portable streaming music player.

VAT and additional costs
A common question about AliExpress orders is whether additional import costs will appear.
In the past, customers sometimes had to pay VAT or administrative charges upon delivery.
Today this situation is usually different.
The price of €61.39 already includes VAT, and AliExpress normally handles these taxes during checkout.
That usually means:
– no customs charges
– no administrative handling fees
– no unexpected costs at delivery
Be careful with unknown websites
This exact product is often sold on various unknown online stores.
Some of these websites sell the same device for €120 to €180.
In addition, returns there are often not free and customer support can be difficult.
On AliExpress, returns are usually free or much easier.
That is why I always recommend:
never pay more than the AliExpress price.
