Rock Around The Block
Everybody likes LEGO blocks, right? As a kid, I could play with them for hours (probably still could, come to think of it). Although they are unofficial imitations, these "lego" block MP3 players look like an over sized version of the real thing. The manufacturer creatively used the bumps (isn't there an actual name for those, by the way?) as control knobs, and they come in a range of classic LEGO colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and white. The included Li-ion battery can be fully charged in six hours via a USB cable connected to your computer while you manage your files.
