Problem is, as an mp3 (flac really) player the interface is terrible: for running or biking you really want a player that is small and has physical buttons to click, or alternatively your actual phone so you get communications and statistics. Carrying a poor player that is not you actual phone makes little sense to me.

It's not as bad as you think. A lot of headphones/earbuds these days have the buttons built in, making it less critical that the device has them. How well this will support the buttons though is a different question.

There are apps for 3rd party hardware control such as headphone/earbud buttons. I have not personally used any, but I know they exist.
