Should I buy the new classic ipod, and convert my flac and wma's?

Hey guys…in a bit of a dilema here. I really need an mp3 player, have always wanted one, but never took the plunge. The release of the ipod classic makes it a very tempting buy, 80GB for £160 off Apple’s website (for those of you in the US, £160 for an 80 gig mp3 player is exceptionally good value.)

I have around 30 gigs of music, and I do want the ability to carry all my music with me, with no real interest in gimmicks such as multi touch or wifi access.

I do have a lot of lossless music, about 150–200 songs, in wma and flac format, and 2 albums of m4a. Should I buy the ipod and convert to mp3, or wait for the next rockbox?

Or should I alternatively wait for the next generation of offerings from iriver and creative (x-fi built in?)

P.S I’m not a huge fan of itunes either!
