Throw in a nice stereo Bluetooth headset too, sounds ideal.

Doesn't work for me in practise though.  My phone, a Samsung D600e,
seems to have a file limit of 20Mb, it refuses to even access the memory
card if it has a file bigger than that on it.  This is fine for 'song'
tracks, but the half hour radio shows I have are bigger than this.  I
can, indeed I have, re-encode the tracks, they're mainly comedy shows so
quality isn't that much of an issue, but the faffing about soon made me
go back to a dedicated mp3 player.
