FLYWEIGHTCountless ambles down to the local java joint validated the TrailAudio’s always-at-hand design. I stocked this two-ouncer with 11 Led Zeppelin albums and clipped it to my belt loop. With a water-resistant casing, this 256MB memory-card-based player is ready for the rain and the rough. Plug it into a USB port, add or subtract tunes, and go.
Bonus: Doubles as a pocket hard drive.
Bummer: Included headphones are one-size-fits-most—and they didn’t fit me.
