Can you literally not transfer mp3s to a new phone through a USB cable and play them with an mp3 player app anymore?
I've never had an iphone, so forgive my ignorance if none of the following works:

..then to play the files, maybe try this:
VOX – MP3 & FLAC Music Player It supports all standard formats, including FLAC, APE, WAV, ALAC, MP3, WMA, OGG, etc.
iPhone won't let you use anything other than iTunes through Apple Car Play. It's super dangerous as fuck, too, because iTunes won't let you pick songs from a playlist using Car Play. You have to look away from driving, pick up the phone, unlock it, open iTunes, browse for the song on the phone's screen, and then select it on the phone.
Carplay is gay. Aux port and cupphone yeaaahhh
I wouldn't know.. last time I used the phone to play music in the car I did it through the audio jack aux port. Mostly just burn CDs. CDs almost never piss me off. Car supports mp3 CDs, which is nice.
It's nicer to have your entire music collection browsable and playable. My car can do it from a USB stick, but the morons only put one USB port in the car, so if you want to use Android Auto/Car Play for navigation you can't listen to your thumb drive music.
I still have a CD binder in my car. Every month or three I'll burn another mix and simply label it with the month and year.
CD's do get scratched up eventually and skip in places, but it's also safer to just hit Skip on the dash rather than attempt anything on a phone while driving.

A big reason I never continued with iPhones a decade ago and switched to Android. Out of the box Android lets you mount the SD card on the PC, copy whatever the hell you want to it, and use any music player to play them (including all of the built-in ones that the OS comes with).
Yeah, android is far easier for shit like this
Going to try this later. Thanks.
Not a boomer either, but late stage millennial now sitting at the crest of the hill. I'm beginning to understand the frustration with new technology like my elders. Used to be into every new gadget or tech that came out. But now a lot of the times nowadays, I'm feeling the fuck it- not learning that stupid ass newfangled shit.
Exactly they were like “you were into computers”. I was in to new leading edge tech shit because it was world changing. All this “tech” isn’t new, it’s boring and I ain’t relearning it all because some ego trippers wanted to reinvent the wheel for the 500th time
Android does that just fine. iPhone is shit. I had one 10 years ago and when we had a major power outage (lasted a week) I plugged in my crank-handle cell phone charger and my iPhone told me it wasn't supported and so wouldn't charge. Had Android ever since.
Phone is slave to pc. Itunes pushes your pc collection to your phone and erases what was there before. Its one way.
