My wife performs with the Native American flute. At gigs, she often uses backtracks burned to CD. The CD player just died and I suggested she move to an MP3 player so she could create different playlists.

I thought it would also be nice to have another ereader in the house. I have a 7" Android Tablet and like it, but we are looking for something more affordable since the main focus is an mp3 player. The cost of an iPod (about $250 is too high).

Any thoughts?

Here are the features we need:

ability to play mp3s
ability to create and edit playlists

Please note that the mp3 playlist handling is more important than the ereader function. I don't care if it is eink or lcd. For ebooks, epub is the format we would be using. No need for pdfs.

Small screen size is fine - even the size of android cell phones would be ok. But not as small as the ipod nano.

Oh, and I am boycotting Sony products, so please don't suggest any.
