I'd get the closest thing I can find that does the job at a reasonable price and be happy with it, my life, and move on.

As a first world problem it is less important. You can just buy a different mp3 player if the current one sucks to much. If it is a very expensive item to buy it's really sad if it doesn't do what you need.
