Intro

For quick context: I still use a digital music player (Sony Walkman NW-A45) frequently. I am not super fond of this player for reasons.

I have looked around for a while now, and I personally cannot find any suitable solutions (both new or old). I am curious if there exists anything that I might have missed, I would love to know about it.

The Short List:

Handles large media libraries
MicroSD Support
Preferably no network connectivity
Properly handles ID3 v2.4, Vorbis tags (A45 FAIL)
Handles album covers in a sensible manner (cover.png, embedded) (A45 FAIL)
Live play queue editing (A45 FAIL)
Preferably Sub-$300 USD

The explicit denial I saw is multi-genre, multi-artist in ID3 v2.4 I won't be parsed.

EDIT: The source.

Rockbox will only pick up one of a tag (RIP Vorbis) and will only parse up to 500 bytes on higher end players, 240 bytes on other players of the grouped tag (RIP ID3 v2.4).

Huh, interesting.
