which would have all the convenience of the iPod combined with the sound
quality of a genuine hi-fi unit.
Does one exist yet?

My main wish for an iPod is that it should have no associated pc
software - just appear as a hard drive, so I can do my own managing.

Forget about iPods then.

But there are other makes that do exactly this. I have an iAudio U3
(Korean stuff, several years old) that works like any USB-stick as
far as the computer is concerned (Windows, Linux and quite possibly
MacOS). It plays mp3s, oggs and more.
