I have no illusions that ANY portable music device will be anything remotely approaching "audiophile" in quality (heck, just a really good portable headphone amp section would take several times the space of this player just in batteries) - but designers can bias towards sound quality and away from features for a given set of criteria and price point.
Unfortunately this market segnment seems to have little interesst in quality and lots of interest in features and bling, which is typical of most consumer purchases but still makes me sad.
Try Brasso on the Nano - lots of good testimonials out there for its use on the Nano/iPods in general in removing scratches, though it takes patience and shoudldn't be used frequently (it does remove very small amounts of plastic).
