One of Matthew Yglesias's funnier aphorisms is the concept of a 'bleg'. Generally speaking, it means 'using your blog to beg for something'. Now, usually he uses it to request free tickets to some alternacrap concert that he wants to go to. I am wanting something much more important: information about what my next mp3 player should be.
My current, very serviceable, one is in its death throes. I have now been through 2 attempted replacements and am wondering if you, Faithful Readers, might be able to help.
Specifically, I have 3 needs and 3 wants from a new player.
The needs are:
1) Must be 1GB or more capacity
2) Must bookmark on shutdown. That is, if you turn it off in the middle of a track, then turn it on, I want it to restart in the same place.
3) Must have at least 3 lines of text for file navigation.
The wants are:
1) Uses AAA batteries instead of Li ion rechargable
2) Has a USB plug built in rather than accepting a USB cable
3) Has a built-in FM radio
Also, you can assume that the #4 need is 'is not an iProduct.'
So, any advice?

Have a look at the MuVo V200 and MuVo TX FM from Creative Technologies.
Check out the Samsung U3 if you want to get up to 2 gig (and if you want one in cool minty green).
