Which MP3 player?

A post in another thread prompted me to ask if anyone knows of any relatively current MP3 player with good capacity (15GB+) and a removable battery. I'm getting fed up with devices containing factory fitted Li-Ion batteries. I love my iAudio X5 for its features but it was already showing battery problems barely a year after I got it, and since I've not used it a few months, god knows if it'll work now.

Sourcing removable batteries for many devices is easy and cheap (albeit with some risk of compatibility issues and/or them going 'pop' down the road), but it seems most factory fitted batteries are soldered on or hidden under other components, which rules out a DIY swap-out for me.
