I with modern players how I have to physically take the whole thing out of my pocket and there is often no easy and tactile way to just change tracks and volume and play/pause without looking or accidentally hitting the wrong thing. With modern players there is often no easy way to attach them to your clothing either aside from aftermarket products that are clunky.
I've started to use my cellphone as I find the Sony Ericsson "Walkman" branded phones often actually have good media controls on the outside of the phone for track and volume controls. I have to use ######ed Sony M2 cards but that's okay since in the future, their phones will switch to micro SD.

I can adjust the volume, forward and skip songs with the remote on my headphone wire on my iPhone. Plus with voice commands you can do pretty much everything else.
