I forgot to mention that if you want some reviews on MP3 players go to http://cnet.com . They offer some pretty good reviews and some of them have video reviews if you're too lazy to read ;)

What?! Moi? Lazy?! :shock: :lol:
Just because I'm sitting here on my butt playing on the computer with a 20-pound cat snoozing in my lap when I should be working doesn't mean I'm lazy! :D

Is there any way i can play midi files on a portable player ?
Well most MP3 players don't support MIDI files just because of the quality of the music. You might be able to find one with firmware to allow you to play MIDI files.
iTunes and ipods are the way to go. I don't have an ipod yet, but i am planning on buying.
I've been using iTunes on my mac and windows and have used apples since the early 90's.
To get the music you want you could try a subscription service like Rhapsody ( http://www.real.com/rhapsody ).
you pay an amount a month and have free unlimited downloads. Its all on the level and is not piracy.
Anyway, hope you figure it out.
I have an HP handheld that I use as a GPS system with CoPilot navigation software and hardware in my car. I rip music to the SD card and play it with Media Player. I have a Belkin FM converter to go with it so I can play the music (and GPS voice) over the stereo. Works great for me but it sure is funny when the GPS voice kicks in the same time a song is playing..

It's not just a matter of sound quality, but of the near zero demand for this feature among those who buy MP3 players.

They don't support MIDI because that would mean extra hardware to store everything needed for MIDI playing, and extra software to do it. MIDIs aren't encoded sound; they're instructions about what notes to play.
Imagine having midi support.Then we can listen to thousands of instrumental tunes in an absurdly small storage space.
