I have a Creative Zen Touch (20GB) and it has pretty much what you're looking for. You need to install the transfer software (which sorts things nicely to artist, track, album and genre) but then it works like an external drive. The included headphones are a bit crap but it's a standard 3.5mm connector so you can easily use a different one. I have it connected via a 3.5mm/RCA cable to my mini-stereo and it works fine. An AC brick is included as well. I haven't tested the battery on constant use but about 5-8 hours should be possible. Looks like it's in your price bracket, too (the 40GB is 190). It doesn't have a digital radio, though.
