Looking to buy Fuze, questions about navigation/storage

[mindlesspuppet]

I'm considering buying a Fuze, though I have two questions regarding them.

First is regarding the navigation, or rather the buttons, the center button seems troubling. It seems to be difficult or awkward to press. So I was just wondering how it compares to other MP3 players with similar a button setup.

Secondly I was wondering if it can be used for storage for files that aren't media.

The buttons are not difficult to press.

It can be used as storage.

the only thing i hate about the center button is that it makes an awkward "click" when pressed

i wish it was silent like the home button, but oh well, u get used to it

and yes u can use it as external storage
like word documents, or whatever

I agree, the button in the middle of the wheel is a bit hard to press, kind of "loud" and it stands out too far (should be flatter). But I don't think, this is something dramatic.

I realize this has been answered, but here's my two cents.

You don't say if you've actually held one or not. The center button is raised slightly above the wheel. It is easy to press. I would say it is comparable or better than other players, particularly that brand that shall not be mentioned. I find it quite natural to use my thumb to rotate the wheel and press buttons with no problem.

Yes. In MSC mode it appears to the computer as a flash drive. In MTP mode it appears in Windows Explorer as well but without a drive letter. You can still navigate to it and copy files to it.
