Watching video with Play Yan is outright atrocious and should not be considered a viable option unless you're just ass poor and can find no alternative for that particular needs. The artifacting, as you mention in your very "review", is much worse than you let on, and saying "It looks almost as good on the small screen as it did the first time I saw it on a computer monitor" is of particular interest, since for one you don't define the variables for which you saw a video on your computer for the first time and two the videos don't even fucking approach the quality of any even decent computer. Standards need to be set much higher, people. This shit is NOT acceptable.
As for music, I agree with you for the most part.
