what is best personal cd player for listening to speech cds

Can you recommend a personal cd player for listening to speech cds. I am a reviewer and need to be able to rewind and fast forward with ease as well as pause. I would like a counter so that if I stop I know where I am up to. Players I've had in the past seem to want to go back to the beginning at the drop of a hat (annoyingly!). Please do not add my email address to any mailing lists.
