Be it a rip off of apple's touch pad thing, or just a mouse-style scroll wheel, players with such huge amounts of files needs a semi-decent way to navigate them quicky, not one at a time... (note: there may in fact be something, but it isnt mentioned and it doesn't look like it from the pics) The only thing this seems to be missing is some sort of scrolling device.

So what if iTMS downloads won't work; just rip them to MP3 and you're set. It's a pretty impressive package for being so small. For the size alone, I'd probably seriously consider this over the iPod Mini. Even the new Dell player only has 5GB. Big whoop. Check the specs on the XS200:

First thing would be the REQUIREMENT for ogg support and the definate knowlage that it would play VBR mp3 files. I think not supporting DRM rubbish is probably a good thing, also.
