The smaller Creative players are tiny, rugged, reliable, have
excellent audio quality, and transfer files without special software
(I use cp or midnight commander).  They are inexpensive: $50 to $100
list price.  They use a single AAA cell and typically run longer than
other brands of players.

MUVO TX :: usb 2.0, 256 Mbyte

MUVO TX FM :: usb 2.0, good FM tuner

Beware:  Some of the larger Creative players require the use of
software such as gnomad.  But I think that this is not the case with
the ZEN NANO PLUS (usb 2.0, 1000 Mbyte).
