Mp3 Player, for sports, with expandable memory

Jul 8, 2005 5:47AM PDT

I'm fairly new to the mp3 life...I've scanned past postings, but have not found anything that explicitly answers my questions.

What mp3 player would you recommend, given these requirements...

1. It will be bounced around a lot during exercise...from what I've gathered, this says the best mp3 is one with flash memory.

2. It must have good FM reception. Ability to record from the FM signal would be a huge plus.

3. It must be able to take some type of memory card...

Another question...how does recorded speech (as in books from audible.com) compare to music as to the amount of space a recording takes up?

I've learned much reading past postings, and say thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
