I just bought a Sony 16GB Mp3 player on sale for $50. I never thought I would need one that big.
It would be nice to have an MP 3 player with AM and FM reception too. That way you could record say Rush, play it later without the computer.
Storage space is not different than closet space... You'll fill up all you can get! I've got a 4GB Sansa Clip+ that I added a 16GB microsd card to... It's full. Lots of music, plus all 7 Harry Potter, Atlas Shrugged, and about 8 other audio books!

I’ve bought a few Sandisk Sansa Fuze mp3 players—can also rec. voice and record off FM radio—but the scroll wheel can freeze up if it gets moist, etc. (had in pocket, light rain).
May try various solutions or maybe even the Sandisk Sansa
Clip (which I’ve been told also can rec. off FM radio and has
no troublesome scroll wheel)
but in the meantime I spent $50 for an RCA Opal (made by
Audiovox) mp3 player/FM radio & recorder/voice rec...no
scroll wheel, like so far. (As I said in another comment, if one wishes to record off AM, you can get a mini FM
transmitter and put it in headphone jack of an AM-FM
radio; broadcast on a selected frequency and record
on the mp3 player/recorder.
