What do you play your music on?

I was going to offer but my mic quality is bad and quite frankly I think your vocals on this are great.

I play my music on guitar, piano and violin.

I can't believe it's taken so long for someone to say that. I think it (well, a variation on it) every time I see the topic, before I remember what the actual topic is.
Anyway, I would like to slightly hijack this topic for my own question:
What portable gadget do you play your music on?
I have an ipod classic, but it won't last forever. Eventually the hard drive and/or battery will fail.
There are hacks around to replace both, and those are an option, but another option is to replace the whole thing with something shinier, and I slightly favour this. Among other reasons, it would be nice to be able to play a wider range of formats, including FLAC.
It has to be able to hold at least 80GB of music. Preferably more, as my collection continues to grow.
I'd prefer a dedicated unit, not a smartphone or ipod classic-type thing that plays music, videos, surfs the web, runs apps, etc.
If it is capable of mixing left and right channels to mono output, that would be a significant bonus.
I expect that I will have to pay for good quality sound, and that is fine. Astell & Kern AK70 is perhaps a touch expensive, but I might consider stretching to that if there are no other good options.

I can't believe Apple discontinued the iPod classic, still. It just seemed to me to be a way more user-friendly model (mostly because me and touchscreen items are fairweather friends ;P).
At the moment, it's predominantly on my iPhone, but I would love to get something with a lot more storage space (I have about 300GB of music on an external HD, and 16GB overall space for my iPhone.)
Money doesn't really permit me at the moment as it's too tight to mention, but when it does, I'm so there :)

The A&K range is to droll over.
For real life, I have a long, long discontinued iriver H340. I have replaced the 40GB disk with a 240GB disk (the largest ever made in that size with a compatible PATA interface), and because the firmware can't handle that I have replaced it with Rockbox; alternatively, some people have successfully put large CF cards in there which Rockbox can also handle. I originally got it because the stock firmware handled ogg/vorbis, which hardly anything else did - but Rockbox handles pretty much whatever you throw at it. Rockbox is a bit hair-shirt, but I've made a nice theme (for my purposes) for the while-playing screen.
I have well over 2,000 CDs stashed in the device, plus a considerable number of my own concert recordings.
