Awesome! It looks like the Cowon A3 and X5 both meet my needs:

http://anythingbutipod.com/compare/cowon-iaudio-a3-vs-cowon-iaudio-x5

And the A3 apparently comes in an 80GB flavour, which
http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/ had for an astounding 266 GBP. If
I can locate that in Belfast for anywhere near that price, I think we
have a winner!

Pints to Russell, Laurent, and Darraugh will be forthcoming on the
occasion of a meatspace collision.
