Isn't a loop feature pretty standard?  My sony portable md player (mid-range 
model from a couple of years ago) has a looping, shuffle, etc.  Lots of fun.

If you're dealing with a lossy compression format and cheap plastic sony 
mics will an extra analog stage really kill you?  If you have an even 
halfway decent A-D converter on your computer I don't think you're losing 
anything by not having a digital connection.
