Default mp3 player output volumes

Hi all, never posted in here before but seems you might be able
to
help.

I'm looking for an MP3 player to use with an FM transmitter in
my car
and occasionally an external speaker via the earphone socket.

Not headphones.

Both of the aforementioned devices benefit from a player with a
high
output volume.

I've asked elsewhere but keep getting told that some headphones
are
more efficient than others even though I clearly stated that I
do NOT
want to use the player with headphones.

I'm also aware that some players have a switchable volume
level.

I have tied a Sandisk, Creative and a Sony. None seem to go as
loud as
my daughter's 3rd gen ipod. Trouble is I hate iTunes with a
passion.

I've got a large mp3 library and don't want to re-record at
higher
levels.

So, any websites that have reviews that include output level
info?
Anyone got any ideas for players with a reputation for a decent
output?



Why hate iTunes? You don't have to use it to buy anything but
it really is quite good at managing the contents of an iPod.
