    Does anybody own a portable media player, also known as a digital audio player? If so, how is it like using yours and what do you use it for? What music do you have on there?

    I own two media players so far.

    The first is an Innioasis Y1. It's a pretty good iPod-style player, with a bit of customisation for the wallpaper. It feels somewhat flimsy and I scratched the screen 4 days into owning it.

    My one issue is that hitting the play/pause button often makes it hit an A-B bookmark. This is supposed to happen when you hold it, but 4 times out of 10, it does this, which is really annoying because it ands the song right then and there when the A mark is there, and I have to hold the play/pause button again to keep the music going. It totally takes me out of the experience. The biggest issue is that it often has errors in playing tracks, so I have to reset it. Sometimes, folders completely disappear so I have to do a hard reset just so I can use it normally again. However, it's a pretty good MP3 player if you want something that feels like an iPod.

    The other is a Phinistec Z6, which is my backup player. I bought it after the MP3 player first crashed and it's a very sturdy player with a crappy UI. The music fades between tracks, which I find annoying, but it's no big deal. It will probably become my default player once the Innioasis Y1 is rendered useless.

    I have all my albums and songs that I have been downloading since I was in 8th grade, from popular songs to songs I actually enjoy.
