Hi. players like the 801 are most often called DAPs here, I guess that stands for Digital Audio Player, but that could mean anything, a CD player, a PC etc
 
I saw a Toshiba in the classifieds and they called it a Portable Media Player
to me that makes more sense.
And a Portable Music Player would sound just right.
 
So why the phrase "DAP" ?
 
Often at work someone will walk up to my desk and say "what's that?"
If I reply DAP, they still have no further idea what it is!!
 
It would be good to have a poll and finally agree something that makes sense
