Mp3 players are one of those categories of products that have been totally destroyed by cheap Chinese manufacturing.
The decent players like the Sansa Clip disappeared, and all the non-color-video-screen ones with long batteries are horrid cheap things that can't play songs in order, advertise ogg support but can't actually play it, can't handle random song metadata and silently drop such songs, bug out randomly, etc.
This looks cool despite the price... I don't commute or go out much any more so my uses are more limited, but I'm thinking of getting one anyway.
