i wish to buy a high capacity personal media player(aka "ipod", thank you, uneducated retards, for depressing our collective intelligence levels)

im considering something like the ipod classic, but i donot know whether it comes in less than 160 gb or not.(i donot want 160 gb, its a bit too much, and 10k is quite a bit of money)
it should be able to hold my music collection(~17 gb)
primary use:music player
i donot require any frills like fm-am radio, voice recording, ability to open photos, i just want it to play music files
drag and drop is preferred over sync
MUST have a 3.5mm jack.

i'll add stuff as it comes to my mind

mp3. is there any way to convert mp3 to a higher bitrate/better filetype?(i guess the answer is no)

no
so i am guessing you are an average user
not an audiophile or something with ears for detail
right?

what Earphones would you be buying?
