Ease of use too. The user interface on the ipods an that touch wheel
thing, at least on the originals, was very nice to use. The whole
experience of the player is not just how it sounds but also how pleasant
for fiddly it is to get it to play the right selection of those 1
billion songs you want it to play.

Size comes into it, battery life, and for many people I expect looks and
fa****on.

That said, I have an iAudio which is bulky, can be fiddly to use, but
sounds good enough and runs on a normal AAA cell which can be easily
replaced. (I use rechargeable ones). It also has tuner and line in which
are two features I value. It wasn't too expensive.
