You and me both.  I use my nano also on the train (here in Ireland, or
in Japan), and differences in sound quality are hardly noticeable.  A
good pair of noise-reduction earbuds, easily available in Japan, help
improve sound-quality on any mp3 device.  Much of the quality problems
lie in the background noise, not the mp3 quality.
