Sansa Clip 1 GB from 2008 still going strong here. I use it to listen to podcasts with wired earbuds while going on walks.

I love the physical buttons and simple lcd screen for status.

I do wish I had purchased one that accepted a microSD card like yours though.

Kindle is another example of a single-tasking device I enjoy using.

Does it support increasing playback speed without affecting pitch? I'd like to get a capable mp3 player that I can use for podcasts, but I need to lidten tkm some of them at 1.5x/2x.

I tried an old samsung mp3 player I had lying around, but for some reason they thought implementing playback speed without adjusting the pitch was fine, so my podcasts sound like chipmunks. Needless to say, I abandoned the idea of using it.
