Yes, a more robust media player would be great. Inclusion of a shuffle mode would be favourite. I'm also wondering whether there couldn't finally be a user-replaceable, external battery system. Field recorders by Sound Devices, for instance, employ a range of Sony detachable cam-corder batteries, to be chosen depending upon the battery life you need. The one thing which stops me using the media player more than I do is the way it chews through the battery.
