I've had a Creative Vision M for the last few years, and I've been quite happy with it. However it's taken a beating and I accidentally cracked and destroyed the screen today, so although I can still use it, I can't see what I'm doing so it's time to buy a new player.
I'm heading home to Vancouver for a short trip soon, so I'd like to pick something up while I'm in Canada.
I was hoping some of you who are knowledgeable about mp3 players could give me a few suggestions.

Really all I'm looking for is something that plays music for when I'm on the bus or traveling. Here's what I'd like:

Absolute minimum of 8 Gigs, although I'd prefer more
I want something that's pretty rugged, so it can take a beating
Reasonably good sound
Ability to play different file types including at least mp3, wav and preferably also FLAC files
Relatively user friendly and easy to load up with music
A minimum of 10 hours playing time
I do NOT care what it looks like
I do NOT need wifi
I do NOT need to watch videos

Thanks

Both can take sd cards so just buy a couple of 8 gig sd cards and you are good to go. They have excellent sound reviews, Will play almost anything you through at it. you can get silicon cases so it shoyld be pretty rugged

Also the have over 30 hours of battery life
