ID help: bean-shaped black player, one line of text, circular buttons on the right

Sketch attached. Player I had as a kid, used it in the early 2010s so it could date back to 2005 or so.

  • Landscape body, bean or lens shaped, thicker in the middle and tapering at both ends
  • Glossy jet black plastic, very light
  • Single line of scrolling monochrome text on the left of the front face
  • Circular cluster of buttons to the right of the display
  • Hinged flap on the back that popped open, probably batteries (?)
  • No memory of a USB cable or bundled headphones

Probably a known brand rather than a no-name, since my family bought from regular shops.

I've already gone through the obvious Sony, Samsung, Philips, SanDisk, Creative, iRiver, RCA and TrekStor ranges without a match. Creative Zen Nano Plus is the closest I've found and I'm still not convinced.

Any ideas welcome.
