I hate to admit it, but the IPOD is the best way to go. The rest have more issues, however, don't look at Apple products as a vacation... :-/ For teh IPOD that will hold 500 songs, just go for the smallest amount of memory in the IPOD as you can get... It think they sell a 1 GB one... Plenty of space...
