Another day, another moment of being thankful for my dedicated .mp3 player.

I don’t consider this apples to apples.

Walkman/Discman/MP3 Player. These you need to acquire music yourself, then inject it.

Spotify/Tidal/YTM/Deezer etc, these are services that add recommendations and allow you to listen to practically anything under the sun. They are no the same thing.
