the gameboy will play music anyway.
I use mine for this all the time.

You have to convert your Mp3's (I picked .GBS files)--but they don't really sound any worse at all, depending on the quality and player you choose. Headphones or external hookups are also a must, that GBA speaker isn't the best.

additionally GBAs will handle legacy music formats like Midis, mod/it/s3m, and NSF.

I use an SD card adapter.
here's a pic from an earlier post:

might want to ignore the writing...

my gig is more than enough to store tons of stuff.

all the GBA movie players will do mp3 as well, but they tend to be bulky--except for that japanese whatcha-macallit...

under $60 shipped, plus the cost of whatever SD card.
it does far more than music and movies...if you get what I mean *ahem*
you know, with the homebrew and the 'less than homebrew'
