Woot.com had Refurb 30GB iPods last week for $100. You can find them on amazon for $125. I had one of those from buy.com (which owns woot) and the hold switch was broken when I got it. The battery life was very poor, too. I returned it and luckily, they were out, so they issued a refund.

In high-end audio, as far as headphones, there aren't that many players. AKG, Beyer, Denon, Grado, Sennheiser, STAX. That's basically it. I may have missed a few. Headphones are a most bang for the buck product assuming that you don't need speakers. A preamp or a dedicated headphone amp will
