Recommendation for MP3 player

I am looking for a recommendation for a MP3 player with a FM receiver. Long battery life is a real consideration. The FM Walkman I have used for years is kind of large by today's standards and goes through rechargeable batteries very quickly.

TIA.

I like the Cowon X5. They have an extra long life battery version as well. The receiver in mine works very well and the battery life isn't bad even though I have the standard battery.

I'll second the Cowan X5. The X5 has 14hrs or playtime while the X5L has 35hrs.

There are cd based mp3 players that have FM tuners. Basically, they are cd players that can play mp3 cds.

If you really want the FM radio, I liked the iRiver. They come in 5, 6, 20 and GB and I really liked it.

(BTW, what follows is an unrequested plug To be honest, though, I ended up returning the iriver and buying an iPod despite really wanting to not like the ipod. I didn't need the FM though, but you can get a plug tuner)
