problem is I would only get 4 gigs more than my zune hd... I'm looking for a considerable jump in storage... Can't really find anything though :/ I don't see why people don't make 64 or 80 gb devices anymore...

There are 64GB players, but not for $200.

How much would they run? 300? That's pretty much my maximum. I also found the Cowon Z2, D3, or J3 (all 32gb) paired with a nice 32GB sdcard sounds ideal. How do these 3 match up against eachother?

Depends where you are located.
 
64GB Touch, probably ~$350
Sony has 64GB models not available in the USA, probably cost around what the Touch would.
 
So 32GB + microsd cards are probably your best bet. I think most of the Android powered ones can use the 64GB microsdxc cards in them, if you format said card in the player.
 
Z2 is the successor to the D3, I think, and better all around. The D3's hardware was lacking the power to really do much with Android.

I'll nvr buy any apple product, baha... But if the microsd slots can go up to 64 gb then i'm down for the z2 or j3 32gb edition any day! But what do you mean by "if you format said card in the player"? I've also heard that the z2 doesnt have any playlists or favorites.... O_o

I've tried my 64GB micro SDXC card formatted to Fat32 with something like a dozen devices from Froyo --> ICS and had no troubles whatsoever.

you can always buy more sd cards for your storage so just pick a player with slot
