A Few That Work...
mp3 - 1

mp3 - 2
mp3 - 3
mp3 - 4
mp3 - 5

We love these ones because you can download music from Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. (like you would download a movie for an airplane) It just needs to be put on wifi every 30 days to confirm your Spotify/Amazon Music, etc account. So we do this at Visiting Weekend for our 8 weeker! You can also delete any apps you do not want on it. It also can play music out loud without headphones.
