Im looking for a mp3 player not sure what to go for really.

Basically will be used in my car, on way to uni, and a lot when i go jogging (well when i start after NYE ), So lightweight really and easy to attach somewhere when jogging.
I want it to hold lots songs, i currently have 15gbs music on my itunes so ideally bigger than that .

Price no object really

Any help much appreciated

iPod Classic..?

Capacity your choice really, I've never had any skip problems with mine while running, load times between tracks become iffy but it's not bad.

EDIT: Mine's not a Classic, it's a 5G 80GB.

I would recommend avoiding the Apple route, you get much better sound quality from other manufacturers.

I'd recommend something from Meizu, or a 2Gb Zen Stone Plus, or I've just gotten a Sandisk Sansa 8Gb player which is brilliant. You can also get a 16Gb version of this now, plus a micro-SD slot for further expansion.

The Meizu and Zen are both less capacities than you're after, but will still hold a good number of tracks, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the better sound quality than from an iPod!

Go for apple classic. if you need true bass then buy extra in-ear headphone. The original headphone which is comes with the box doesn't provides good bass but it provides avg quality music.

@captover72
although that Sony player you listed is, imho, one of, if not the best sounding mp3 player on the market, it doesnt iffer 15gb storage space as required by max99....

@max99
go this one in 16gb or 32gb, and it has a mem card slot too :

Or, if you want better, in 30gb or 60gb, with bigger screen etc, go the Creative Zen Vision W, you will find it listed on the site also...

Yes, the Sandisk-Sansa brand is a GOOD one (cheap too!). See other brands and their $$$$ here:

i think sony players are a better option. they have excellent quality and amazing battery back up. the "Megabass" feature is also a plus point.
