Any recs for mp3-players anyone?

Okay, I guess I need your help - again. You don't happen to have any recommendations for mp3-players, do you? I know it sounds weird and awfully retarded, but I don't have an mp3-player yet - or more exactly the one I got as a present once never worked at all.~_~ And except for long trips in the train or plane or wherever else, I never felt like I desperately needed one until now, I haven't been in that walk-around-with-earplugs-for-24/7-per-week-phase since high school where the cool kids still had Discmen after all. But now I have been fancying for one for a while now - and funnily enough, the main reason why I want one NOW is because of my comprehension exam on friday next week. And I feel desperate for listening to japanese radio shows, radio dramas, whatever, for as much time as I can afford now, and staying near my laptop (my only source for music for years) isn't a serious option comprehension-wise. (And of course, I wouldn't mind listening to music as well as soon as that exam is over...;))

When I want a new electronic toy, I want a really good one, no less. Especially because, yeah, I did mention that the last USB-stick mp3-player never worked at all, don't want to risk that again. I'm currently fancying the ipod nano because a friend of mine told me that other players often weren't able to display Chinese (or Japanese) characters, and although my japanese (or chinese. or anything not roman letters involving) playlist isn't exactly that big yet, but it might grow a lot beginning from september after all. And ipod nano because I was under the impression that ipod shuffle doesn't display anything at all...?
Do you possibly have any alternatives you can warmly recommend me, or is ipod not only scarily popular and expensive but teh very best indeed? Any kind of help or personal rec is very welcome as I want to go shopping tomorrow at the latest.:-\
