Got some time to try out the music features of the PI and here is the result:
1. Sound Quality - OK. Not great, but not bad either
2. Navigation Controls - Very limited. It only gives a listing of songs in the SD card and thats about it. One can go to next previous tracks (and this takes some time). Does not read the ID tags in the MP3. No navigation via Albums or Playlist or even via directories. Gives option to play the files in random. repeat or normal mode.
3. Volume Control: Takes a while to get used to the controls and the volume jumps around. No fine control.
4. After inserting the SD card it brought up the directories in the SD card in the library listing even though there were no books in them and on navigating into them it showed a blank.
5. The PLUS POINT is that the music plays as you read the book.
In summary it is a OK music player for amateur book lovers, but aficionados will not enjoy it. The lack of MP3 tag reading is a BIG limitation.
Haven't tried putting the mp3 files in the memory of the device itself.
