I bought one. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work well with large music libraries. The database building step takes several hours, with no progress indicator, and once it’s done, the scroll wheel does not accelerate, meaning that scrolling through a long list of artists/albums will take a long time. Hopefully these will be remedied in a future firmware.

Good to know, thank you for sharing your experience! I may go with a different device and install Rockbox instead.

Any new device that supports it?

Given its open source couldn't you have a peek and maybe fix those issues?
