Need a recommendation for under $150

My iPod video just died on me, and currently looking for a new replacement.

So looking for an 8GB or more, high/great sound quality.

I don't really need a video function as I don't even play movies/videos on my iPod.

Suggestions and advices will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
 

Read that the Clip+ is rather overrated in terms of sound quality, but a very good value for the price.

I narrowed it down to a used:

Zune 80GB

iPod Touch (2nd Gen)

iPod 5th Gen

Cowon S9

Samsung P3

Out of these, which one are the best candidate?

oh yea!! I forgot to add the Sony S series as well.

I just don't see any reviews on them, and wondering about their sound quality.

As for the hippo, not impress with the battery life.
