    Phatnoise released the PhatBox digital music player several years ago with full talking menu support as well as full voice support for song title / album title / artist name / genre / playlist. The PhatBox is geared specifically to in-car usage: http://www.phatnoise.com

    Rockbox is a third-party firmware for many devices (including the Apple iPod) that has incorporated talking menu support since version 2.3 (released 2004-10-26):
