Hi

Hope this is not too off-topic. If so feel free to ignore.

I am about to leave Europe for an extended stay in Asia. It is very
important to me to be able to listen to classical (mainly
Baroque/vocal) music during my trip. However there is no way I can
take my hi-fi system with me.

Could any of you help me decide what my best option is between:
- a plain vanilla CD walkman
- an MP3 CD walkman
- a hard-drive based MP3 jukebox player

Here is what I am looking for
- great sound quality
- gapless playback
- some mechanism to associate related tracks and play them in the
right order (playlists?)
- limited weight and good portability
- reasonable price tag (not more than $400)

If you leave for an extended stay, you'll want many tracks.
Take a look at Apple's iPod and iPod mini - you might like them :-)
(They work with Windows and Macs).
