#236186 — OT: Music player with substantial speakers than can play things like mp3, wav files from an SD card or USB pendrive

I'd like to find a fairly large (I mean not a tiny hand held thing that uses 
batteries and has tiny controls) music player that can play things like mp3, 
wav and other music files from either an SD card or a USB pendrive.

I'd prefer to be able to plug it in to a 120vac power source (ie., not use 
batteries) and have at least one of:

   * fairly large speakers for good sound
   * output jack for headphones
   * outputs that can connect to a "standard" audio amplifier / speaker setup

I'd like to find something prebuilt, rather than making configuring something 
myself from anything like a Raspberry Pi.

I'd like the controls to be on the order of the size (and style) of those on a 
"standard" stereo system.  (I mean, among other things, I don't want tiny 
controls, nor do I want to have to use a keyboard and monitor.)

I've done a little bit of googling and searching on ebay without turning up 
anything.

(There are things that would be nice to have, like if I'm playing music from 
an SD with 100 or more songs, it can remember where I left off when I turned it 
off and start from the next song when I power it on).

Is anyone (on here) aware of something like that?

I recommend a TASCAM recorder or a TASCAM CD player (CD200-SB has SD
and USB inputs).

Use powered monitors; Presonus Eris E3.5 work well ($100/pair from
Sweetwater).

Built-in on TASCAM units.

Spend the additional money (very little) for balanced output (two
wires plus ground), to have the ability to make a hum-free connection
to other balanced gear.  Balanced gear can also connect to unbalanced
(RCA) gear.  Balanced gear uses a XLR connector or a 3-conductor 1/4
inch phone plug for each channel.

Standard on the above.

I was envisioning something like this

Roberts internet radio probably has much of what you need and they do sound systems. Likewise systems form Pure
or if you've got some money, systems from Ruark 

All the best

It seems you are looking for something like this:

https://www.amazon.de/Dynavox-Stereo-Kompakt-Verst%C3%A4rker-VT-80-schwarz/dp/B077YL23YC

(just an example, you're probably better off with something similar from 
more established brands)

The trouble with such pre-built systems (even the best ones) is that you 
are stuck with whatever it does (not) support.

E.g. according to the description of the device above it can play MP3, 
WAV (and WMA), but there is no mention of other interesting formats like 
FLAC or Opus.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Do you have a budget in mind?

A maximum size?

A requirement for a single piece?

An intended user with any special requirements?

This is WAY too off topic. You're not even asking for something that
is related to computing, or free software. Hope someone will nip this
in the bud before the debian mailing list archive ends up with a
permanent advertisement for consumer hardware.

My device that does this runs Linux, and the front-end is an
open source project that is built and deployed with Debian.

There are two Debian packages that specifically support it.

So.

You could use a large buttoned bluetooth speaker (or one with Jack in)
connected to a USB music player that fits with all your other
requirements except button size, many are controllable from the
speakers end, this might be a different approach to the problem as you
then just have to find the music player that fits your other needs.

If your USB music player had jack out it could then be used for
headphones or a stereo systems input.

Agptek are one manufacturer of USB music players that comes to mind,
these normally support flac/mp3/wav amongst others.
