God damn it. Their newer players are all MTP-only, and don’t feature voice recording.

That sounds ideal except for the AA batteries and 1GB capacity. I need to be able to just plug it in to charge it, and I routinely need to record massive amounts of audio on top of my music collection (which I could probably get down to 3GB).

Another “idly and much later”: It’s tough to find either of the good iRiver flash-based players in a non-US version. It appears that iRiver stopped producing both, and they’ve been bid up to reflect their greatness. I wound up buying a Samsung YP-MT6Z from Amazon, of all places, a couple months ago (~October 2005). Except for lacking iRiver’s famous large, robust construction it is Awesome in all respects: AA battery, minimalist screen, OGG, UMS, long play life, line-in and FM w/ MP3 recording, 1GB, ~$100.00

A big thanks for the heads-up on the iRiver, by the way. I’ve liked iRiver since I decided on one for my brother last Christmas, and I’m thinking about one of their flash models – primarily to eliminate the DRM nonsense I have to put up with from my emergency bargain-basement MD player. I would have been pretty shafted if I’d bought a US version.

I like your bit about comfort. I agree.
