I am looking for an MP3 player with 20gb at least hard drive, fm radio and most importantly a removable and replacable battery.

Does such a thing exist?

Hadn't looked at Sony - so that's a good start! Many thanks.
Uses the lovely proprietary ATRAC format, incompatible with any other device. Nice.

Back to the drawing board then.

Do you really need the radio? My experience of portable radios that use the earphone cable as an ariel is that they only work decently if the cable is out on show; put it under a coat or jumper and the signal isn't that great.

If you don't, then maybe take a look at the iPod? I know you may think that this is counted out as the battery isn't easily accessible, but it is accessible, and it isn't particularly hard to change either. See if this can settle some issues. Many still think the iPod has a bad battery.

Thanks for all the informative and useful answers.

Much to consider, still.

I think part of the problem is there is just too much choice.
Definitely. I've had an iPod for 2.5 years now, and am very satisfied with it. Nothing's gone wrong, it's not that scratched, and the battery still works fine (touch wood). Many people that knock the iPod do not own one. I've tried other devices and find the iPod to be by far the easiest to use too. The iTunes integration also swings it for me too; just make sure not to buy anything from the Music Store (or any other one that sells DRM'd music).
