I don't know how much music (and videos) you have but for me personally the I-Pod Classic has to be one of the best items I've ever purchased. The only time I've ever had to delete stuff to make room was when I deleted movies (many seasons of Law and Order SVU). As far as music goes, it holds an absurd amount and it's easy to use. I mean touch screen is cool and all but it's still not nearly as responsive as physical buttons.
Also if you use it in the car with an Aux plug it's a little safer in regards to skipping and pausing songs due to the buttons, provided you're not switching playlist while driving. Thats how it was for me for a while before I switched to a USB plugin.
Now as for price.
You can buy it here new for $225 plus $4 shipping. Returns are accepted and the seller is top rated.

They also have refurbished and new 80gb and 120 gb models for under $190. I bought a refurbished phone off E-Bay and I was surprised at how new it looked so getting refurbished to save money might not be a bad deal.
