Advice on MP3 Players?

[mi_guida]

I freely admit that I know nothing about MP3 players. Usually for technological things I don't understand I'd turn to my father, but given he's just bought himself a new record player, he knows less than I do.

Here's the situation:

I currently own a 64MB player, which will take around 15 tracks, or one album. It's a dear little thing, but pretty feeble really.

I would like to own a larger one that actually carries sensible amounts of music. I have 7.3GB on my computer; the question of how much I want to carry round is probably semi-answered by... What sizes of memory do these things come in? And for how much?

Also, which makes are good/bad/realiable/hold battery charge/anything else I ought to be asking?

You are all wise people, and if you can offer any advice, or point me towards any website offering advice, I would be very very grateful.

WMA is Windows Media Audio - it's the default ripping format for Windows Media Player. I've had occasional need for it, but I'm guessing you live in an entirely Linux-based computing environment now.

I've always converted all my WMA tracks (And set WMP to rip as mp3) so that's not a problem, really.
