Now you got my attention.  Anything remotely portable that
supports FLAC would be _very_ interesting.

Had I got the time, I would have looked into what could be
done with the 2.5" hard disk MP3-players available on the
market.

I heard about some firmware replacement project that could
be interesting, but at least one of the players apparently
does it's MP3-decompression with dedicated hardware.

Agreed.
