Is there a >=4GB flash player w/ good podcast functiions?

I read a review of the new Creative Zen V Plus 4GB player, which sounded golden - until I got to the part where it stated that you've got to use Windows Media Player (or Woeful Major Pain?) to get files to it. Is that really true?

I use Total Commander for all file management, including moving music and other audio to my player, and my podcatcher (PodBreeze, http://podbreeze.wordpress.com) stores the podcasts right on my current player (a Sandisk m250 2GB). And that's the way I want it to be - I simply won't buy a player that forces me to use special software (or WMP) to access it - Mass Storage Compatible (MSC) is a must for me.

So, if the Creative is out, what should I get? My absolute requirements are:
- The player must be able to do MSC - no special software required to add media to it
- It should be at least 4GB, and flash-based
- Bookmarking so that it starts at the place I left it, even after a battery change. Preferrably also after being connected to the computer and getting new content (my Sansa doesn't do the latter, it simply starts over whenever it gets new content)
- Removable standard battery, AAA or similar, that can be charged in a regular charger. I need to be able to change batteries on the bus, at the beach or wherever I'm at

It would be a plus if it had good support for playlists. My Sansa has terrible playlist support when used in MSC mode, which makes it hard to separate podcasts from music. I let my podcatcher assign all downloaded podcast episodes a special genre, so listening to podcasts only is OK (by selecting that genre), but the problem is listening to music only - my music isn't one genre...

Another plus would be good fast forward/reverse. My previous players (both MuVo's, 128MB and 256MB) had a wonderful feature where they speeded up the movement through the audio file more and more the longer you held the button. Fast-forwarding to the middle or end of a 2 hour podcast is a pain with my Sansa, which has one speed only.

Finally, if it does video, it'd be good if it did useful video, since re-encoding video isn't one of my hobbies. All my video comes in some QUicktime format or other (video podcasts), so support for that'd be great.
