I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.
But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I still have a Sony Walkman with sensme. I loved being able to set a mood and set it going.
These days you can no longer get sensme in any way, there are no android/ios music players with that functionality and cloud based music services offer a sort of skewed version of it but it isn’t really constrained in what music YOU like and tbh most of my local stuff is a mix of game/tv/film music and chip tune stuff which you don’t really get on cloud music services anyway.
I really wish there was an android app that did same thing as nothing fills that niche and I’ve tried making complex playlists etc but it’s a massive pita when you have gigs and gigs of music.
Ive never used SensMe, but from the description PlexAmp Sonic Sage might be similar to what you’re looking for?
It sounds like it may build some playlists like what I would want but depends on how it builds the metadata, as sensme worked off tempo and beats etc to classify music into moods etc.
Also for me personally it seems like plexamp would be more geared for people who’s devices are always online, which is another reason the mp3 player is great as I don’t need the Internet to access all my music etc.
I think it takes that into account. It’s going off the actual music files, not the artist/album metadata as far as I’m aware. But yeah that’s fair, you can download playlists for offline but it isn’t as seamless as just having the files locally
