Looking for a new Mp3 Player

Now that I have some spare cash I am looking for a mp3 player that I can take running or to the gym with me, so far I have narrowed it down to either the zune (so I can stream stuff from my xbox) or jump on the ipod bandwagon. Any suggestions?

Those are both good options, the only other one that I would consider is the SanDisk Sansa

Newegg.com - SanDisk Sansa e280 1.8" Black 8GB MP3 Player

I have the 6gig version and it is a very good player.

The rest of my family has the e260 and its a solid little player. I Would also recommend the Creative Labs new Zen player. It 4GB for $100 and 8GB for $150. Really small, supports SDHC and even AAC music (unprotected)

I own the 30gb Zen Vision:M I want to stray away from creative this time since after market products/accessories were hard to come by

Why don't you just keep using that, its a fine MP3 player. Unless its broke...

it freezes on occasion but its far too bulky to use while running etc.

Ah, the new Zen is really cool, its about the size of a credit card, and the thickness of a iPod. Are you gonna sell your Vision:M?

Get a PSP and a memory stick! Though it may be large and bulky it has so many more features than an ipod and it's just cooler. I took the PSP over the ipod when my parents offered me it.

It's probably a bit too bulky but I use an 8gb Philips gogear. Works with all music but iTunes protected crap. You can get a convenient case for running and the headphones that come with it are pretty comfy, also supports video and can record audio.
