MP3 player usability

I just bought me an MP3 player, The Sandisk Sansa e260. Beautiful - and there's no manual. And no need for one either. Only thing a bit troublesome is the menu-wheel which can be a bit tough to turn and is raised which makes it harder to press the other buttons. But it glows a cool blue when you turn the thing on - completely useless, but the never the less a feature I really love (I can't explain it - there's just something about blue light ;-)).

And to top it off: I plugged it into my Media Centre PC et voilá: New device found - want to synchonize? And then I could just select the music I wanted to transfer to the device. And no hassles with iTunes and strange proprietary formats (other than Microsofts that is).
