I was considering looking for something similar for music, plus I wanted a
portable device to which I could download images from my digital camera
whilst travelling.
Bought a laptop instead, does all of the above and costs less than the
total of separate ( albeit more portable) devices.
Laptop is plugged into my stereo and TV ( using laptops SVideo out) for
playing music ( cds, mp3s, Internet Shoutcast audio) and DVDs.
I bought a Benq Joybook A32 e V01 for $1299 - Runs Knoppix LiveCD Hard
Drive install perfectly.
Prices have dropped since my purchase from TXComputer Solutions, 89 York
St, Sydney ( http://txcomputer.com.au) - Also at Auburn.
They allowed me to boot the Knoppix Live CD and to spend quite some time
determining that all hardware was "discovered" - of course couldn't try
WiFi ( still haven't - no connection) or internal modem ( have ADSL anyway).
No problems with Laptop to date.
Just my solution - may not suit you.
