Does anyone still use MP3 Players? (lemm.ee)

I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.

But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I use my phone for that but I plan on buying an mp3 player for swimming

One thing I can recommend if you don't mind the cost is to get a bone-conducting headset for that purpose. Shockz - though I bet there are much cheaper options - have ones that are completely waterproof and can be used while swimming, and they even have a non-bluetooth integrated-storage mp3 player one that'd be ideal if you can't leave your phone near the pool for the BT options.

I have one but I didn't fall in love with it, I'll look for simple earplugs and storage, I'm not gonna bring my phone to the pool

I bought a waterproofed iPod shuffle and water ear buds off eBay that works really great! Ear buds might get uncomfortable after an hour session, but it sounds better than the bone conducting stuff out there. There are other bud options that came with it that I should try out to see if they're any more comfortable.

I don't know if I'll like it, I gotta try, my first try will be with a cheap model
