OK, thanks for that. I'll start researching them on Amazon.co.uk.

Hrm, I should have mentioned this in my original mail (and indeed,
meant to, but I was waiting for the output of a "du -sh" that was
running in a terminal on a different virtual desktop and forgot about
it): I have 65GB of music, and I'd like a player that gives me access
to all of it. I currently have a 512MB Signeo SN-M700:

It takes SD cards as well, so I've been making custom mix cards just
like in the old halcyon cassette and CD days of my youth. However, I
am usually reminded while listening to one song of another song I
*must* hear next. Amarok[1] thus works very well for my needs when
sitting in front of my Linux box, but I need my fix on the long walk
from West Dublin to the DART. :)
Cheers,
Josh
