Any android phone will do. They still make dedicated music players that are better than an old IPod. Try a Fiio device.
PowerAmp is my goto.
USB cable
Check the devices supported file formats and if they don’t fit your needs keep looking.
MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, VORBIS. The first three should cover all your basic needs.
Get a bigger SD Card/Hard drive.
Honestly that’s overkill.
Jellyfin plays music. Grab an aux chord. Use a bluetooth speaker.
AUX CHORD!
Spotify, Youtube, Tidal.
Just listen to what the heart desires.
There are metadata editors you can download. I use my ncmpcpp’s(Linux) metadata editor and that works just fine.
(Didn’t need a video to answer any of these questions btw. It’s not rocket science. Hell, it’s not even new in terms of using computers. Music was the first thing I figured out way back in the day. Been adding to the same collection of music for 25 years. You don’t need a dedicated server to host music that you can put on an SD card and in your phone. Why on God’s green earth would you want an algorithm?)
What’s funny is iPods were the difficult alternative back then. You could only use iTunes and their proprietary files to put music on the thing. You had to do some hack to get around that. It had very limited space even for the time. They were expensive. Meanwhile me with my cheap mp3 player had gigs of music I just drag and dropped from the file manager. I feel bad for anybody that only knows Spotify as a way to get music. They don’t know what they’re missing.
I had an application called floola that I just dragged and dropped onto the iPod. There was a Mac Windows and Linux version so regardless of what you plugged the iPod into you could load music on. I didn’t even have a Mac I just had an iPod
(All questions answered in the video, btw.)

EDIT: Didn’t realize I missed so many questions.
It’s kind of hilarious that there is now a 36 minute video that essentially explains how everyone used iPods in 2003 as some difficult alternative
