Looking for a solid state MP3 player with the following:
4 GB capacity
Line in recording
FM tuner
FM recording
AA or AAA replaceable batteries
Drag and drop file management
Don't care about video capability
Seems like newer players are moving away from these basic required features.
Well in case you don't find one that does that all...
I have a SanDisk Sansa e280 (the 8 gig version)
4 GB capacity---Yes, and higher if you want
Line in recording---no, but it does do voice recording
FM tuner---Yes
FM recording---Yes
AA or AAA replaceable batteries---No, but the battery isn't too hard at all to get to and replacement ones are like 20$ if I remember right. So you could keep one charged with you and swap it if you needed
Drag and drop file management---I don't remember but I think it might
Don't care about video capability---Has it if you want it

Cowon IAudio has a 20 gig out and is getting ready to release a 4gig...
but the 20 is only 189.99
Creative Zen has a 2 gig
Now they also make a Zen V PLus....i think its just what your looking for..
4 GB capacity Check...and more if you wanna go higher
Line in recording Check....Has good reviews
FM tuner When this become a MP3 Player feature
FM recording yeah if you use a line out
AA or AAA replaceable batteries Nope but let me see if i cant find one
Drag and drop file management Check
Don't care about video capability Its good anyways...

I have the SanDisk Sansa e280 and I love it.
Just to clarify it DOES have drag and drop file management.
The iRiver portable mp3 players seem to match up well with what you want, try www.iriver.com

I suggest you have a look at this model it’s using now by my brother in his own car. It has the most comprehensive function but reasonable price with good features….

I especially like the surrounding sound effect, hope this fulfill your requirement.
Good luck.
solid state? you mean, they make MP3 players with vacuum tubes and old analog devices? that's the one I want.
