Although its expensive, it packs a lot of features.

Check it out at (pics and info):  http://nordic.iriver.se/products.php?p=6

For the 1GB- its $300, $270 at computers4sure.com. Yeah, it’s expensive- but thats the one I’m going to buy.

If there’s any other better mp3 players out there let me know.  I was either going to buy the 20gb ipod, Iriver H320 or this. 

iFP-900 Series

(This information is preliminary and may change)
With a durable magnesium chassi topdesigned with stiff straight lines and soft curves, iNNO Design shows of their innovative feel for creative design solutions.

Also SRS Sound.

The iFP-900 Series has a list of new and exiting features. It comes with a built-in Lithium-Ion battery, that delivers 40 hours of playback. Use the adapter or your PC’s USB port, to fully charge the battery - it takes only 3 hours.

Direct encoding function with Autosync, makes it possible for the iFP-900 Series to automatically separate musicfiles from a CD. In other words, instead of getting one huge MP3 file you get the encoding track by track.

Sound Activity Detector (SAD) function saves memory and power. During voice recording the player only record when sound is captured and turns off recording when it’s silent. With the iFP-900 Series you have the the ability to connect a separate microphone for extra high quality recordings.

iRiver flies to the next level…

I agree.  It looks really expensive.  I still am a fan of the H320 and H340.  They are just pretty cool. 

PS I modded my ipod so it’d look more like those irivers 😛 CARBON FIBER baby :D

I’ll add a pic to my signature in a little bit :D
