Re: Buying an mp3 player: Choices Choices
the company specs for my player (iaudio x5l) rate it at 35 hours of battery. i haven't actually tested that in the real world, because it simply has yet to run out of batteries on me.
(and it is recognized as a ums hdd in windows without drivers.)

Re: Buying an mp3 player: Choices Choices
Thanks for the advice people. I'll take everything into consideration and let you know what i decide.

New iPods
The new Nanos have a similar design to the old Minis and more battery life. Since my old Mini survived a fall from waist-height onto tamac with just a little scarring of the aluminium shell they should be durable enough. The new Shuffles should be even tougher - the weak point in the Nanos is the screen - and the Shuffle doesn't have one.
All in all they look pretty good - my only complaint would be that the batteries are sealed in, which means that when the battery dies in a few years time you'll need a new iPod.
