I have the Creative Jukebox 10GB hard disc player. It's probably not the most accessible player when it's not hooked up to a desktop or laptop but using a program called Notmad Explorer, it's easy to transfer files to and from it, stream files from it directly through Winamp on the desktop, create playlists and a variety of other functions including producing reports and even running SQL queries against the id3 tags database that's created when transferring files.
The point is though, which I think sometimes gets a little overlooked when we're looking for accessibility, is that it actually sounds pretty damn good. It has a frequency response between 20HZ & 20KHZ which is more than sufficient for MP3 music and with a decent pair of headphones, it's a great listen. I tend to create pretty large playlists and then just select between them when away from home so don't tend to spend too much time flicking between folders. This can be done though if you've got a decent memory for the folders you've transferred to the player. It cost me £200 and is a couple of years old now.
