A dedicated DAP needs to at least be as good as an average phone or there's no use having it. Numbered list of what I'd need to know before considering this. Update: Just watched a couple YouTube reviews: 1. How much internal storage does this have without an SD chip? (None. And no SD memory chip supplied) 2.Does it handle .wma and .aac audio book files, (YES) and does it have bookmarking for audio books? (I don'think this is designed for audio books, although they'd play) 3. Is there a clip on the back for securing to clothing? (No, and the edges are sharp. Not so good for jogging or taking to the gym) 4. A "massive audio library" requires folders, a search feature, and favorites--how intuitive are these features, assuming the player has these? (These features look ok, reviews didn't comment on ease of use or any irritating features that crop up in actual use) 5. Does the player allow two tracks to be played at the same time, such as a music track while a downloaded podcast is also playing? (Don't know) 6. Does it support Opus audio? (?) 7. When connected to a PC, can you manipulate files easily? (The reviews assumed so but didn't demonstrate stuff like trying to load several dozen tracks, or folders of tracks, from a PC. Like, does it retain folders and do you just slide them over from your PC? Can you batch transfer a "music" folder with two dozen sub-folders and 200 songs?)

withiniswithoutExcellent compilation :-)
Would you make this a numbered list? Also, please add my question as well - does it support Opus audio?
The reason for asking: Opus supports high fidelity audio at miniscule sizes. Players like Poweramp (v3.xx) support playback of these files on my Android phone. For the claim contestants, I've signed up for the beta versions on Google Play.
-- Update -- It does handle .wma and .aac files. Hope that helps.

withiniswithoutRegarding Questions 4 and 7.
There is no search function to speak of. Your player uses the folder layout of whatever files you throw on it, so if you want to carry around a gigantic library don't throw everything into the same folder. So yes, if you throw your "music" folder with all your genres artists and albums onto the megamini (that really just shows up as a usb stick), it will retain that information.
However, there is NO search feature and I have yet to figure out how the "favourites" function works. I doubt this will work for a large library. Simply scrolling through your songs would take an eternity.
Regarding question 5.
No. The megamini's whole appeal is that it is impressively stupid. Some people are really into having as simple a device as possible. Don't expect it to have any fancy or smart features.
Regarding question 2.
I answered this bit in a discussion above. The player remembers where you left off if you turn off the device or if the battery dies. But if you skip tracks it forgets were you where on the previous track. This means that you'd have to fast forward back to the 40 minute mark you were at before you accidentally skipped the track.
