Who burns MP3s to CDs anymore? No one!
If you do that, why not just buy a CD from Amazon, rip to WAVs and to MP3?
Also, yes, for videos and MP3s YouTube is best; I have gotten lots of full albums in MP4.
Did the OP say $500?! That one costs $600.
Run for this one:

I've had a few issues with my Alcatel Android11 phone. Never had problems with Android10. But still for best value Alcatel or TCL; However, Samsung tablets are unbeatable.
