The following images show examples of similar projects that you can try.

This headset for a cell phone is constructed in a similar way to the MP3 player, using arcs and Draft surfaces.

Most computer speakers make good subjects for practicing your modeling. Take measurements and try to replicate the shape as accurately as you can.

Have a look back at the Vacuum Cleaner tutorial to remind yourself how the button was detailed. You can finish your MP3 player model by recessing and filleting the buttons and the button holes in a similar way.

You can use Surfaces > Rolled Edge > Tubular Offsetto create grooves from projected curves-on-surface. Use the help if you have not used this tool before.
