So, I want a portable music player. Requirements are:
  • available in Norway (meaning small brands are mostly out)
  • gapless MP3 playback
  • Replay Gain support
  • >20 GB storage
Excellent battery life and SQ would be nice, but I can do without.

Thanks

Get an iPod 5.5G, then use RockBox to make it superb.

Even the new iPods (Touch and Classic, both <= 32GB) can convert the RP values to soundcheck, if you use Foobar and foo_dop to transfer files. Of course, it can play MP3s gaplessly no problem, and definitely over 20GB.

The new iPods are a bit expensive, considering I won't be watching any video, and don't care much about Wi-Fi.

I found a 5.5G 80GB (the last one they had) at a reasonable price and ordered it.

I think you'll love it. Congrats on the purchase, and don't forget to hit up that RockBox link.

Thanks

This will be my first portable which is not CD-based, actually.

Just read all the info on RockBox, and use the installer - makes life much easier IMO.
