personally I'd want an MP3 CD player. Ability to play music CDs as well as MP3 CDs, an iPod would be great if I had the money but one thing you wanna look into is battery life.

I'm not sure if an MP3 CD player uses up more battery power than a stand alone MP3 player. Asking in HardwareWorld might help more too

I got an MP3 Cd player, had it for about a year and a half. Battery life is shit on MP3 playback, so I just use it for normal CD's. Im getting an MP3 player this year, I think there is a Ministry Of Sound one with a 20gig harddrive for about £150-200

I have an Archos Jukebox FM Recorder. It's not bad. Once you switch the firmware with the one found at rockbox.haxx.se it runs much more smoothly. But with all the recommendations I've read I'd go with an Ipod if I were you. A lot of people complained that it broke down after a few uses and such. I haven't experienced anything like that myself though.
