The Smartphone + USB Dongle ($8 - $15): You already own a phone. Buy a cheap USB-C to 3.5mm dongle (Apple’s dongle is famously good for $9). You lose the "dedicated device" feel, but you gain better software and zero cost for the player itself.
The Second-Hand Sandisk Clip (eBay - $10): Forget the Kim. The Sandisk Clip Jam or Clip Sport is the king of dead formats. You can find these for $10 at thrift stores. The battery lasts 18 hours. The UI is perfect. It is ugly, but indestructible.
The "Screener" Phone: Go to a pawn shop. Buy a used Android phone with a cracked screen for $5. Remove all apps except a music player. Use it offline. It has better battery life and a better screen than any Kim Portable.

Learn color correction basics in DaVinci Resolve.
