One of the reasons I decided to get one a couple years ago was to do it while there were still decent options. I ended up with an LG. I imagine that at some point we’ll only see cat-on-keyboard brand players being resold from AliExpress.

I find with these decisions, it’s still hard to future proof. The USB standards and ports will evolve and that may be more of a problem. Probably plenty of ways to solve in the near future but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was more of a problem in longer term timeframe.
