my only gripe with mp3 players i ngeneral is that you have SO many songs, especially with hard drive models, it's a pain to navigate through all the folders and/or create playlists to find the songs you wanna hear, as opposed to just having a disc you made with 10-15 tracks on it and you can skip through and just hear what you want.
That can be fixed by organizing differently. I just got a new Dension DMP3 hard drive based player, and I rearranged my MP3s into directories based on the artist name. I'm writing a program to further break them down by album name and track number, so I can recreate the actual play order of the CDs.
I also have a mp3mixes directory with different types of music, each in their own subdirectory. Those directories are around 175 songs each and used to be what I burnt MP3 CDs from for my CDC-MP3, but that works well for the Dension too.
And of course a good interface on the player helps too.
