If you're looking for an extremely basic digital audio player, JVC's XA-F57E is it. The only excitement would be choosing from the four available colors - silver, blue, and two different shades of pink. Features on the XA-F57E are more effective at putting a raging bull elephant to sleep than the strongest tranquilizers. It supports MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM formats, has an LCD with a backlight, 512MB of flash memory, and a battery life of 11 hours. Hopefully it will be cheap enough to appeal to the masses.
