Question Help find right MP3 player

I want an MP3 player that has the following feature:
1) If I pause an MP3 track, then turn it off, when it turns back on say 3 days later, it remembers where it was so I do not have to listen or fast-forward back through. (I use it for half-hour bbc programs not 'tracks')
2) Allows me to adjust play-back speed (say to 1.3 or 1.4 times speed)
3) Not too expensive?

why the 1.3 playback speed?a bit strange.

how much space do you want?
do you want it to show photos?
how much money would you like to spend?
battery life?
how cool do you want to look? :P

1) Just talk shows are often quite slow, and you can hear them perfectly well at 1.3 times. I don't listen to music speeded up though!
2) min 256MB
3) No - just a cheap thing
4) < £50 unless it is very useful
5) 8 hours say if recharge. Useful to listen in an airoplane, so just running from AAA battery is fine too.
6) Don't care about cool - just rugged enough not to break as soon as you see it.

Thanks for your attention
