I can only recomend what ive tried
I was in the situation as you not too long ago and i decided to get an Iriver HP-120 (after much consideration)
its got
-20 gigs
-line in/out
-mic recorder
-FM tuner
-no software needed to connect with pc, which means its great for file backups too if need be
-plays a variety of codecs including ogg
would also recomend the creative zen micro, those things are dead sexy

thats the main problem with flash based players, they are the most expensive per megabyte
a 512 or even 256 meg may be an option
considering u will be near your mp3 source all the time
are you really going to listen to one gig of music in one go?
a huge plus for flash based mp3 players is size and great for going to gym or running since they wont skip like some HD based players

You could more or less tweak the design to build one inside anything you want. A friend suggested a pair of headphones, and Im thinking of the proposed idea of a removable IDE Drive for a car stereo.
Interested in working the design of this smaall one a bit too. I was thinking of the tin cases AOL sends their cd's in. A possible idea is to make it look like a cd player with its hinges, but inside, have another cover hiding the elctronics Possibilities for the internal cover renge from designs to additional button optiona\s, to a more detailed LC telling what is playing or other things.
Im ammassing the parts for the small one now just to see if I can do it.
