Worst MP3 player named after a legume: Sony Walkman Bean

Thanks to hissy audio, a weird interface and stupid controls, we'd rather listen to a plate of three-bean salad than to Sony's bean-shaped player. For what it's worth, the Sony Walkman Bean is also the best MP3 player named after a legume. But there isn't much competition in that category.
