    The Samsung YP-P3 plays FLAC files and sounds fine but it doesn't recognise FLAC tags so selecting your tunes is abysmal - avoid.

    I use a Sansa Clip+ 8GB with a 16GB uSDHC card giving me 24GB of FLAC or about 60 albums. Sounds great plugged into the car head unit and recognises the tags so browsing is painless. The supplied phones are better than most but I would still recommend an upgrade to some nice Sonys or Sennheisers.

    Yes it does

    To be honest I'm astonished that something the size of a matchbox can hold 60 albums and sound as good as this does (using a pair of Sony EX71 earbuds that I've had for years now).

    Sansa Clip - £45, 16GB uSDHC - £30, Sony earbuds - £30'ish

    So for around £100 I'm delighted with the results.
