Do you have a recommendation if I just want to play MP3s through my car aux? Don't really care about size as long as it's at least 2 GB.

Every time I look for something, it seems like there's only $20 junk and $100+ players to choose from. I've gone through 3 Sansa Clips that just keep dying. I bought a Fiio x1 and had the wheel die on me in the first year, and using the warranty was way too much hassle.

Not a Zune, but consider a Blackberry 9900 - there are some on eBay for around $40 [1], they take micro SD expandable storage, appear as USB drives so they don't need sync software, have a standard headphone socket, have wifi and bluetooth and touchscreen as well as physical keyboard, and the hardware and build quality is "high end business device from ~2011".

Software is nothing special, but shuffle play artist/album/song/playlist it can do.

Agreed, this was my phone for years and the speed of opening the music app and typing to filter down to what you want is fantastic. Easily swappable battery too.

Zune 80/120 or Zune HD. You can usually find people practically giving them away on Craigslist, Offerup, etc. Zune 120 has a disk drive in it if you're concerned about that. Zune HD comes in 16GB, 32GB, and a rare 64GB and includes HD radio.
