Barebones MP3 player suggestions

[toddaa]

I've got an old Nomad Zen player that holds 20gb. It works fine, but space has always been an issue. I rip my cds down and store them on the Zen for playing at work or running on the treadmill and that's really all I want. I don't want to buy crappy 128bit tunes, I could care less about video, and I certainly won't find the kind of music I like on any online services (trust me on this). The only features I want is lots of space, decent software for both Linux and XP, and the ability to store data files other than MP3s. No other functionality is required or will be used. Ideas?

1. I would probably start here: J and R

They generally have the "best" prices for electronics. I have not looked into an MP3 player, but I would surely like to know what you come up with because I may buy one too.
