cuthbertcross's iPod does most of those things. We've hooked it up to a hifi system. iTunes is PC compatible, but is (I suspect) requred for uploading songs.
I do know someone who got through 4 iPods in search of one that would take alternative headphones: they kept auto-pausing (due to not sensing the non-iPod headphones.) So he got a Sony HD5H (30 GB) for £205-£230. And says it does all thte things you want. But File format support is "pretty poor". Battery life is worse with MP3 files, but still better than iPod.
And I fear that portable (ie pocketable) digital radios (ie DAB) are still very expensive, and are only just on the market. Also on my wish list for the future.
