Happy New Year!
You must be kidding right, I use it everywhere, all the time, the Tera Player is the only music player that can be 100% operated from inside the poket.You can change album, artist, random, change volume, everything.
Nobody knows what you listen at, so if you can afford one, go for it. It will last you many, many years.
And there is no firmware updates, so is very stable, always be.
I agree with everything you said about the Tera Player. For me is the best portable music player in the world even in 2019.Tera is overall by far the best high end music player I have owned or seen so far (I would say not only best music player but also overall electronic gadget - and I have easily spend over $100K on all kinds of cool electronic devices/gadets over the last 30 years). It is the ONLY music player that I have found that I can fully operate when it's in my jeans pocket without even reaching into the pocket to touch the device. This is because I can feel and easily operate all the buttons from the outside of my jeans, and with only 5 buttons I can quickly get to any artist/album/song. The device stays completely cool when in use inside the pocket which is super critical for this type of use (unlike any other electronic device I have ever had, including various ipods), and the SQ is incredible - still one of the best available as far as SQ goes (although my Lotoo Paw Gold is a step up, but I think that's only due to more powerful battery which of course makes it much bigger and not usable in the pocket because it gets warm). The only downside to Tera is that it is extremely picky about the headphones and iem's. After I purchased it I first experimented with some cheaper IEM's first (not that cheap either, in the range of $400-$700) but found that only very expensive Tralucent IEM's (almost as expensive as Tera itself) are the perfect match to produce the optimal SQ.

Other players have *added* functionality so that you get *both* the ability to use in your pocket and the extra features when you use the screen. One of those functions that a screen enables is organisation of albums, searchability etc etc - one doen't have to use it at all, one can just dump all files in one folder, numbered in order. The idea that it is unique in this ability is one, in my opinion, of psychology - that because other DAPs have screens and extra functionality, some people might feel compelled to use them.
The Tera feels "right" because you don't have this underlying feeling you're not using it to its fullest. Kind of a strange situation that this should then garner a premium due to being unique! haha. That's how marketing works, kind of anti-marketing in this case if you see what I mean (creating a kind of life-style image af going against the grain, and one of an emotional life, non-consumer... err whilst he pumps up prices 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x for no reason other than he wants your money).
