Buying advice MP3 player

What is the best all round MP3 player about for less than £200. I know the Ipod is good but is it just the name that I will be paying for.
Would be interested in a player that could connect to a car stereo - unsure how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

I have just fitted a Dension ice link to my car. The cradle plugs directly into the CD changer port on the back of the headunit and allows you to control the ipod through the headunit. Also charges up the ipod whilst it's docked

When in the states I bought a belkin radio transmitter that connects to a 3.5mm headphone jack (i.e. any MP3 player) and transits a weak adjustable FM signal for a radio (i.e car stereo just tunes to frequency).

It was only about £20 but linked with any MP3 player it would do the job. Not sure if you have to import it though, apple do a similar device for ipod, again due to legal stuff regarding transmitting not sure if its available in UK.

P.S I havent bothered with it since I bought an MP3 CD player, u can get about 8-10 albums on 1 CD
