MP3 Player Purchase -- Suggestions Desired

1. MP3 Player Purchase -- Suggestions Desired | 06/25/2008 8:46am
Hey there,
My old mp3 player has been out of action for a while now, and it was only mediocre to begin with (some version of a RUSH player by Phillips), so now I'm looking to buy a new one.
The only time I use an mp3 player is when I'm active -- I use it while I ride by bicycle, while I walk, exercise, etc. Therefore I want something that is easy to navigate without needing to use a stylus and without me needing to look at it (I.e. navigate by feel). This also means I want a flash player, since it's likely to be dropped and have a little rough handling. I'd prefer to get about 4 GB, but the ****isn't the most important factor.
I want an FM radio included. As much as I like listening to the music I have already, it gets old after a while and I tend to switch to the radio. Also helpful for getting weather reports, etc.
I have a lot of songs on my computer, mostly from CDs I have purchased, some that I have gotten from friends, etc. I don't pirate music, but I do know some people have issues moving their music (or eBooks) from their computers to mp3 players regardless. I don't want to have issues -- I want to drag and drop my music and have it work without needing some sort of software or code. My RUSH player was like this, and even if nothing else about it was special it deserves a plus for that.
Lastly, it needs to be a player that either comes with or has the option to purchase some sort of carrying case. I want it to be attachable to my waistband or upper arm for when I'm running around with it -- having something I can navigate easily by touch isn't helpful if I have to dig it out of my pocket first.
Thank you all in advance for any suggestions you are able to offer. I suppose it's also worth noting that if I can't get "all of the above" in an mp3 player I probably won't bother purchasing one.You must be registered and logged in to post a message. -

Since I can't figure out how to edit my post...
I wanted to say that a shuffle feature is also desired -- it gets old REALLY fast if my music always comes in the same order.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
