In you situation the earphones are probably more important than the player. You will needs some good earphones/buds that will block out the ambient noise (muzak). As Loomis indicates, there's probably very little difference in mp3 sound quality among the various players.
Experience with portable "mp3" devices
In my experience I've found the sound in most portable devices, well shoddy at best. In searching the web the only device associated loosely with the word audiophile is the Creative Zen line including the Stone Plus.
Please help !!! At the gym I am currently being subjected to the likes of Hannah Montana and Kelly Clarkeson played through muzak and reaching my ears through 5 1/2 inch universal driver.
Any advise so I can make a timely decision is very welcome !
