Cute design, though probably only good for carrying a few favourite albums around, as without a scroll wheel, it’ll be painfully slow to navigate through larger music collections.
I have about 100 albums on my little DAP and it isn't as bad as you're probably thinking. If I had thousands of albums, yeah, that would be a no go, but I really don't want to be text searching on my music player generally. As long as it has filter menus for artist and genre and the UI isn't totally brain dead it is likely fine.
That's still easily 20+ clicks to get to the specific song you want to hear in this thing
