No, I totally understand. Though my 801 has a screen it is so simple and with the settings I have only shows the smallest amount of info. I find that combined with that it is only on for ten seconds I am now focusing on the music rather than screen art or all the fancy stuff with touch screens and such. The Terra takes that one step further and I think it takes it to a more relaxing state which then focus's one on the music much more.

Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that...

I used to be a total album art junkie. Downloading the highest res album cover google could find and tagging it. Turns out, I was wasting my time. 
Agreed! the screen makes you want to queue up your next songs... hahaha...

Well, I'm glad it works for you.
But that reasoning does not work for me. On the 2GB iPod Shuffle, that's one thing....when I had one, there was no intent on choosing specific things, I just hit "shuffle" and went about my business. But I could never live with a screenless device as my main player....one that can't even pause a track and then resume it....and is limited to .wav files, and...I'll stop now.

Maybe because the ipod shuffle was meant to... shuffle? hahaha!
I get how it becomes a challenge for others, but when you try it, its just different...

I want a festival pass! 
Starts at $100 for 5 minutes....
Just kidding xD There isn't one, unless I'm visiting the same area as you are in xD
Uhh... No..?
You'll get there! It takes patience and finding out your audio setup has been a lie for 12 years.
That's what I have on me right now... Haha!
