After following advice from www.anythingbutipod.com I decided to buy a Cowon S9.
£150 from a US site. Came today.
Superb bit of kit. By far the best sound I've ever heard from a portable device.
You can stick your ipod up your arse.

mp3 players are much of a muchness - it's the headphones that are important for better audio playback. I use these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monster-Beats-Noise-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B001DD55OE
fantastic bit of kit for all genres - cost more than the players though!

With phones like those you would notice a massive difference with a Cowon.
Soundstaging innit.

Think there's something wrong with amazon, it says that those earphones cost more than 230 blips. Hand on... I'll refresh.
What's the capacity? My iPod is great with Shure SE-530s and has 160 gig, which can get about 80% of my music on it.
I bought the 16gb version, don't need my whole 70 odd gb collection on the move.

I got those headphones after I got 2 yankees up in 2 days on here about 6 months ago and won nearly 10k - wouldn't normally spend that much! Curious - to an extent maybe but there is so much else take into account - compression and quality of mp3's to start with. I use a mac anyway so my 'touch' also acts as a remote for my computer so it makes sense for me to have that but I'm not an ipod fascist. I still hold that with a decent part of headphones you couldn't really tell 1 mp3 player from another.
sorry curious = clapham! I must learn to read proper like.
So are those Shure SE530s really worth the £220 I need to pay for them?
I had a pair of Bose phones prior to the SE-530s, (cost around £70 at the time). The Shure's are a dramatic improvement, not only in sound quality, but also in fit / comfort. I's say if £220 is not a problem for you for something like this, then get them, otherwise you can get cheaper versions of Shure phones that will do a good job for you I'm sure (forgive the pun).
Here's a brief review I just located:
Representing the earphone camp, Shure's SE530s are arguably the best earphones in the world; they're also among the most expensive. With three separate drivers in each ear, they produce a massive wall of sound, each with loads of detail, amazing mids and skull-crushing bass, but at the expense of your wallet.

Cheers. I'm tempted..... using cheapo Sennheiser PX100s atm.
