I have the exact same request ... I have been using a CD player, simply because I need the wireless remote ability during my presentations. Has there been any updates to this post .. or have you found any new info ... please pass on.
Thanks,

Hello,
We run a performing arts school and have very specific uses for a portable mp3 player. We use it in teaching dance, drama and movement, in rehearsals, we record performances and even record audio to use in performances. We have been using the Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 for nearly two years now. We chose this model for several reasons, wireless remote control, in-line recording, and the ability to change the tempo of a song without altering the pitch (great for dance classes). However, the player is beginning to age. The IR port for the wireless remote no longer works, one of the line out jacks no longer works and it's generally getting more difficult to use.
I'm looking for something to replace this. The wireless remote is extremely important as is the ability to record onto it. I would like opinions on what players might make good alternatives. Physical size isn't really an issue but a hard drive player is a must.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing your opinions!
Sincerely,
Rachel
