I have just found the menus on the player not all that intuitive. Not bad, and certainly no worse than many other MP3 players. The off-putting thing about the player is that all the buttons are the same shape, so it can be difficult to find your way around it if it's in a pocket or bag. Having said that, the iPod suffers from this as well (and is actually slightly worse when you consider that the wheel can control many things, depending on what mode the iPod is in.

My main gripe with the software supplied is that if you try and upload an audio file to your player that is not an MP3 or Atrac file (such as WMV), it has to convert it to Atrac. I also find it staggering you cannot add support (even a converter) for M4A and AAC (the two audio standards the iPod uses).
