because it's a much simpler interface, and without a screen, much less
expensive, and because with tons of mp3's/music, what most people wind
up using is the random->next feature anyhow.

for someone that wants something light/fast/cheap/portable, and can
play mp3's, it works.. personally, I think it's a decent idea, and one
that will probably be duplicated (with better storage space) for much
cheaper elsewhere... just imho...
