You can also store podcasts and non-Audible MP3 audiobooks (including ones from your local elibrary) in the "audible" folder on your Kindle so they show up in your booklists. I like that Amazon doesn't just limit this feature to Audible-branded content. It also allows you to keep audiobooks and music separate for better organization. Then you can store just music files in the "music" folder.
To the OP, I would not set your expectations very high for audio player capability on any ereader brand if you are interested in audio content besides audiobooks. The features are very basic. Don't expect to create multiple playlists and have full control over sorting what order your tracks play. Also it can drain the battery fairly quickly. I always keep my iPod or phone around if I want to read and listen to music at the same time. Only rarely do I plug my headphones into my ereader.
