Recommend a very cheap Android phone or tablet with SD slot + Bluetooth for music.

[edutech4schools]

I have a Nexus 5 and have just run out of memory. The only thing I really keep on my phone is some music. I can't afford a new phone so need something that can store my music on for the car.

 

All my music is in Google Music and I normally have selected playlists that are auto downloaded for when I am not connected to a wireless AP.

 

So I need an android device that has an SD memory slot + Bluetooth to connect with my car for all my music.

 

I don't need anything else like phone etc but it needs to be bloody cheap as I am totally skint at the moment.

 

Any ideas??????

I have a Nexus 5 and have just run out of memory.

The cheapest option by far would be to buy a USB-OTG adapter (£1.98) for your Nexus 5 and connect it up a USB flash drive. Alternatively just get a USB-OTG flash drive like the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive or microUSB microSD card reader (if you already have a spare microSD card laying around?).

 

To mount the external storage you will need an app such as StickMount (Root) or Nexus Media Importer / Solid Explorer + USB-OTG Plugin (Non-Root).

I wouldn't swap a Nexus 5 for an S4 either. Yuck!

Problem with the OTG method is Google Music does not list it from my N5. Other apps can access the OTG usb key when connected just not GM for some reason.

Ohhh does mounting it make it view able then?????

Not sure if things like nexus media player are needed anymore. I can plug in any USB key using an OTG and it just works. I can browse from VLC or any other media players, apart from Google Music, which is where my music is.

 

BUT - Google Music does list additional storage for other smartphones like the Samsung with micro SD.

I recommend Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F, supports SD cards, Bluetooth works without problems. Overall stability is excellent. The speakers are stereo and are loud...

Second hand Hudl or Fire Tablet?

If all you need is a music player, would something like a Sansa clip plus a big SD card not make more sense?
