Yes, all of those, packed into the super-ugly form-factor of the updated Roland Edirol high-end music player.

Despite the not-even-retro-cool looks, the Edirol R-09HR’s feature set is bang on for 2008 – it plays and records 24-bit audio for all you buffs out there in techno-land, can have its memory capacity boosted with SD cards, comes with a remote control and has a little onboard speaker for “rocking” your “parties.”

If you always keep your MP3 player in your bag or safely hidden from view in a pocket, it would do.
