MacGyver's 2018/2020 era Android phone ought to support USB OTG and have a media player app or a way to install one.
A USB OTG compatible thumb drive ought to have FAT32 formatting for the droid to read.
If a phone is a "feature phone" or a Droid without USB OTG, then it's going to take detective work to sleuth the phone model, phone OS and version, and whether any OS updates can add features like USB OTG and a media player app.
Amazon had a $1.99 MP3 player but with average review rating of 2.7 for a lack of useful instructions - de rigueur for a MacGyver effort.
