3 questions:

Money?  How much can/will you pay?
Capacity?  In Mb or tracks - few solid-state players have more than 64Mb as
far as I know - to get more, you're looking at something with memory cards,
hard disk or CD.  Think about 1Mb per minute for decent quality...
Battery?  How long should it run for?
