High-capacity hard-drive digital-audio players are the kings of MP3 land. From a modest 5GB a few years back to up to 160GB today, hard-drive-based players still give you the most bang for your buck. You can now carry your entire music or media library in a device that has shrunk over time (see the Apple iPod Classic, for example). If you want to run with your MP3 player, check out a flash-based player.
Apple iPod Classic (third generation, 160GB, silver)
The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface.
