I guess sometimes the switch-it-off-then-on-again approach is the simplest solution, but it means you don't find out what went wrong (or why), so it's technically very unsatisfying.
I guess the pictures may be an attempt to solve the problem of producing instructions in fifty or more languages. Lego kit assembly booklets seem to work that way, but they're extremely detailed step-by-step series of pictures. Sometimes a picture is, as the saying goes, worth a thousand words, but there are other times when that's most definitely not the case. The MP3 player's instructions sound like a prime example.
