Hello mates!
I've already lookd elsewhere. My MP3 player broke, but since I travel so much I'm really attached to it. Now I'm blind and thus hate displays by nature. I also dislike menus a lot, since you so easily get lost in them. I had a Creative Zenstone (one of the old models) so far. What I could do and am very attached to:
increase/decrease volume
previous/next track
forward/rewind (could ease up on that)
next folder
play/pause/off
