....and I'm looking for a new player. Unfortunately I cannot find the discontinued iAUDIO 7 anywhere online - if anyone knows where to buy (even refurbished is fine) it I'm all ears.
As for its replacement, here's what I'm looking for:
Absolute requirements:
- 8 GB or more
- Flash-based
- Folder browsing
- Good sound quality
- USB host, i.e. I don't want to futz around with iTunes or similar bloatware
Nice-to-have requirements:
- Good battery life
- FLAC support
- Small form factor
- Gapless playback
- (micro)SD(HC) support
- Sturdy (since I'm a spazz ;-))
Very-unimportant requirements:
- Easy interface (I'm a software engineer, so a completely moronic GUI is fine by me ;-))
- Video support (this will be an audio-only device)
Recommendations? A store near me is selling the Sansa Clip 8 GB version for 40 euros:

Recommended? I think this model is actually the Clip+, right?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
