The best audio player is the one you have in your hand right now. (to butcher the quote) And that for me, just like my camera, is the phone that is always there.
Having said that Music, like coffee, or keyboards is a very personal thing that people connect with and so I can see the appeal of the focused device. It's similar to the e-book reader I suppose where there are not the distractions of a full connected phone. Just you and the music.

If you read a good newspaper article you will see it starts off with a paragraph containing most of the detail of the story and then expands on it later allowing the user to skim.
Blog readers, like newspaper readers, are viewing a number of stories and reading some of them just to get the gist and others to get the detail. So the headline is there to grab their attention and then the first paragraph has to give enough detail that they can go away with most of the details and move on. You can then expand later in the page for those that want a greater detail. It's quite a skill and one that journalist and editors work hard at.
