This is kind of a poll triggered by an upcoming retirement and travel plans but also has to do with how I can best get music into my Fiat 500. Go figure.

OK, so you are going to Central and South America for 4-6 months and, while you want to hear local music, you also want to bring along your own favorite tunes, say up to 64GB worth.

Problem is, El Cheapo Airlines (a United partner) says that they will drag you off the aircraft if your music player weighs more than a few ounces and is any bigger than a big smart phone.

Of course you want to be able to play music by mood, genre and such. Assume you have nothing and must go buy something before your trip. What would you buy?
