Browse the mp3 player reviews at amazon. Every single one I've looked at has at least one bad review saying the thing broke some short time after it was purchased. I'm wondering if the technology is really ready in this area - or perhaps the effort to make them so light has made them less durable?

I dunno. But it's one of the reasons I've held off from getting a player.

any product with lots of parts will always have a few that just break due to poor craftsmanship on that particular item, just a bad batch of plastic from their supplier, a robotic arm that solders the chips incorrectly calibrated for just a few boards on the line, any number of reasons. There will never be a perfect consistantly functioning product, esp. not an mp3 player, in my opinion. You just have to take what your given and deal with it, hoping that improvements will be made where they can be.
