Cute design, though probably only good for carrying a few favourite albums around, as without a scroll wheel, it’ll be painfully slow to navigate through larger music collections.

Does it not have a scroll wheel? Admittedly I skimmed the article but it appears to have A wheel of some kind.

[–] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

No, this is the on/off (and lock) switch, by pressing it in, but it is the volume wheel!

Yupp not having a search function was a... Choice.

I have about 100 albums on my little DAP and it isn't as bad as you're probably thinking. If I had thousands of albums, yeah, that would be a no go, but I really don't want to be text searching on my music player generally. As long as it has filter menus for artist and genre and the UI isn't totally brain dead it is likely fine.

100 albums is quite a small collection, I believe I have more than that on my phone.

If I can not easily browse through 1000 artists this has no value to me.

That's still easily 20+ clicks to get to the specific song you want to hear in this thing
