These are intended to be used as a USB stick, but will play mp3s too. Because the MP3 playback is really a gimmick to get more money for a simple USB stick, the mp3 player is likely to be really simple... probably just what you need/want. (expect the salesman to tell you it is really not that good... in fact that would be an indication you are getting something closer to your needs) I understand about menus and displays. I work outside and the sun makes most screens (including my phone) unreadable. So even being sighted I find similar issues. I find cheaper is simpler. One way to get around directories is to try putting things in the main directory. It will play things in order of file name that way. Sorry I don't have a brand and model to give. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
