The point of an mp3 player is that its compact BUT of course if you love it thats the main thing and you must enjoy it!!, mine is just an opinion. I guess I

I'm ready and waiting!!

I am a lot more B&O educated these days!! Original post was a while back

I have the later one with the glass. I quite like it although a friend is using it at the moment as I don't need it. I replaced the caterpillar bands which tend to break. The buttons don't click on everytime but I don't feel like fiddling with them as they work most of the time. They don't go for much on Ebay, some of them don't
