sandisk makes mp3 players with microSD card slots for around 30$ [1]
and 64GB microsd cards are only ~30 bucks also [2], you can get 128GB microsd cards for under 50$ pretty easy
Putting you at 8GB+128GB for less than a hundred bucks.
Haven't done it myself, but have been thinking about it.

> I used to have a device with buttons that fit into my pocket that was able to locally hold my entire music library. I could control the device through my pocket without needing to look at it or hold it in my hand
Companies still make standalone MP3 players that use dropped-in files and dedicated button controls. In fact, they're cheaper and more available than ever. https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-8GB-Clip-Player-Black/dp/B00V...
> How hard is it to examine iOS or Android at the individual file level? How hard did it used to be?
It's easier than it used to be, as iCloud on iOS effectively added a shared file system that didn't originally exist.
> I was looking for something like an ipod shuffle this week and it’s become almost impossible to find,
What's wrong with the Sandisk products?
