It's perhaps a little bigger than you're after, although it's still smaller
than a Minidisc player, but I bought a Rio Karma a few months ago and it's
great. Excellent sound and battery life, docking station with ethernet
connection (useful for synching using Linux, which isn't supported by the main
GUI app), Ogg, FLAC, WMA, etc. and gapless playback - it'll not insert 2+
second gaps between the tracks like some other players do.

20Gb equates to about 700 CD quality FLAC files or 5,000 MP3s.

Cheers,

Richard.
