You can now get one with 16G Gb internal/external. This would get close to your size requierments, on a flash player. IT plays pretty much everything I have but ACC. battery last long, and the UI, while not the best, if very usable. Other problems it have is that the ogg support is half-baked. File will play fine, but not all id3 tags are shown. other than that I would definitely recommend it. I have a cowon D7 with 4Gb internal and 8Gb external flash, bought it about 8 months ago.

As far as I know, the only player that ever had a 100% free software firmware out of the box was the Neuros. And unfortunately, it just doesn't look like it's coming back any time soon. To anybody watching these comments, I'm seriously considering the Cowon A3. Damn slick device. Actually has a line-in jack and can record in FLAC, which means it can even replace my old Neuros for recording (which I totally wasn't expecting to find). And they've got an 80GB model.

Please stop showing your support, by buying this product. There are plenty of other players out there that are just as good. Have a look at Sansu, and Meizu in particular.

Perhaps the iAudio A3 may do it? The Cowon series of players are nice and slick with good sound quality, mass-storage support and plays ogg. Perhaps the iAudio A3 may do it?
