You liked it? I have seen it (or something similar, could be a different model) and would not recommend it.

When i used it it felt like the touchscreen was a bit off and the interface looked... ugly. The music-playing-capabilities were fine, i just didnt see any reason to get it over the sandisk.

Is a touch screen a pro or con for you? Need Bluetooth? How about built-in speaker? SD card slot?

Don't think any of that matters, though bluetooth would be nice. Could also be added by adapter though I assume?

When you say best, do you mean that it can be expensive? Or cost-effective?

I use a relatively cheap one, but it doesn't last very long. My kids like it however, and it has bluetooth, so I use it, but I've had to buy new ones every few months.

I also tried a non-kosher equivalent for half the price recently, and my kids still didn't figure out that it has radio. It was $25 when I bought it a few months ago, but it seems to be higher now.

You can, but there are enough models with Bluetooth.

Greentouch and Samvix are the two kosher companies with good devices (there are devices in every type and price range). There is also one from SanDisk (https://www.ebay.com/itm/272457571643?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AR57-fAT0XaHQ1CnCu5nZqaR_qTDrhoJYazrOoYCSUak4ut9IKyWk7uBuuk) that I find much more durable, as well as some good devices from Fiio (but they're mostly out of stock now.)

I have a tricky set of requirements: I need a MP3 which cannot display any videos, user images or even album art (in fact text only or monochrome display is fine) but has bluetooth. I've searched high and low but not yet found ...

Thanks for this. When you say "every price range" - is the lowest ~$60? or am I looking in the wrong places?

Is there an easy way to disable FM radio on other players?

Samvix has one for $48 https://www.samvix.com/products/samvix-basic-sound-4gb-sport-mp3-player (or this better model for $50 https://www.amazon.com/Samvix-Dynamite-Bluetooth-Buttons-Recorder/dp/B0BQX67412/) and Greentouch for $50 https://www.dbstoreonline.net/products/greentouch-sport-kosher-digital-mp3-player-bluetooth-type-c-msd-slot-voice-recorder-ebook-alarm-calendar-6-month-warranty

(But, indeed, you won't get those for like $20-$30 you can get non-gekoshered ones.

Is there an easy way to disable FM radio on other players?

Generally speaking, certainly not. You can't disable it in the software if they didn't build in that option (and no one really does) and to be physically disabling the chip/antenna you need to know the exact thing to do, and I'm not aware of good guides to do this (for any current devices.)

I was planning to do this on the Samvix lookalike linked above (from DODOSOUL), and I even found a video showing exactly which part of the motherboard is the FM controller, but I was not able to get the device open. It baffles me how it can be opened, and I think that it must have been glued shut, because there are no places that look like openings...

It might have clips from inside, or indeed glued (and can possibly be separated with a heat gun etc )

Above my pay grade

would a cheap bluetooth transmitter work for you?

No, it would make it too unweildy. I want something that feels normal but cannot display pictures or album art. Since that doesn't seem possible, a text-only mp3 but inbuilt bluetooth (even via TF card) is a must.
