Thanks a lot everyone for all the feedback. Steve, I'd agree with you but I don't want to risk draining my phone's battery specially when I'm travelling! Though one can perhaps invest in a Nokia charger that can be plugged into the electricity sockets of airplanes' seats.

More rich bass, and an all-round better experience.

I certainly do (smile).

Tremendous musicality. And yes, it has a full graphic equaliser.

Taking on-board Steves words on this too, wonder if anyone knows of a player that allows for bass and treble adjustment rather than these settings that chage the tone according to some notion of music genre such as Rock, Jazz, etc? If the day arrives I want to improve on the Zenstone for quality music playing then that sort of tone adjustment is what I'd be looking for.

The sound is somehow rather flat.

How do music sound on the Victor Reader? I'm thinking of getting one mainly to play books but was wondering if it makes a good music player too. Cheers, Amro
