No am not an ancient luddite, I can use a phone like anyone else.

In the car however, I use an ancient Creative Zen Vision. What I like about it is that it has a physical unlock switch and buttons to skip to the next track, which I can feel. I can therefore do this whilst driving without looking at it, and keep looking at the road. To do this on my phone would mean looking at it to unlock it and then looking again to find the skip key, by which time I've crashed into the car infront and may rightly go to prison.

The Zen is 10 years old and will surely break soon, but what is there that can replace it?
Can you still get music players with buttons rather than touchscreens? One that does Hi Res audio would be nice but not essential.
My cars have older stereos with cabled line in only options and I'm not changing them, a thing plugged into them is just fine.
