I've been looking for an mp3 player and have noticed (as everyone else probably has) that not a one has everything that I want. I would like to have an audio player(I don't need video or pics) that will play audible files, flac, mp3, wma protected, and playsforsure(for subscription audio). I basically want a big player I can put my CD's on in lossless format, be able to buy some tunes, listen to most pop music off of a subscription service (like Yahoo) and listen to my Audible files and be able to do a resume on them. Am I asking too much for someone to make a player like this?

No, you're not asking too much, but you're asking to be charged a whole lot and I'm sure you don't want that either.

Check Creative models for everything except my beloved FLAC :(

Since I mainly use my Zen with a noisy lifecycle I settled for transcoding my FLACs to 192 kbps vbr MP3 (LAME --aps -extreme) using dbPowerAmp. Sounds fine for that use.
