Try to fit an iPod on a ring around my pinky finger will you, and take
the time to go home to your computer and load it up with tunes.
Point: You have your criteria for choosing an MP3 player. Other people
have their own.

My MP3-CD player uses a single AA battery. I have a dozen. And if I get
careless and let a battery die without having another in my pocket to
replace it, I can go into the nearest convenience store and pick up
another *pair*. My MP3-CD player also plays audio-CD's, so when I buy a
new album I can play it right away - I don't have to wait until I get
home and rip it to my computer like you do.

And still suffers from the same problems of in-built batteries and lack
of CD support.
