Semi-OT: Music players /w flash and playlists

[Tyler Aviss]

The previous thread on music apps reminded me about something I've
been searching for quite awhile, but as of yet I haven't really been
able to find something that quite suits my needs.

Rather than a linux app, I'm looking for something portable that will
handle a SD cards but still supports playlists. In a pinch, supporting
directories and allowing me to skip between them easily would work as
well, but playlists would be best.

Preference would be given to something that either has a supposed
linux client, or a text-based format that I could easily whip up a
script to update, etc. If it's windows-only it's pretty much a no-go,
since I don't really want to constantly rebooting into XP or loading
up Qemu/VMware just to update my song list.

My current toy is pretty simple, just an old-fashioned RCA Lyra that
takes a AAA battery SD cards up to 2GB and allows you to skip
ahead/back a song-at-a-time. It shows up as two mass-storage drives in
'nix or windows (one for internal memory, the other for the SD card).
Something similar would be nice. I've always wondered why nobody makes
something like the iPod but that can accept SD cards with playlists,
especially since the most common issues I see with iPods (other than
cracked screens due to abuse) are either a dead battery or a dead
hard-drive.
