He wants a portable MP3 player. What I know is that he wants a huge
file capacity, and wants to be able to work-out with it as well as take
it everywhere else, like work and car and home, and wants pretty good
quality.

I'd recommend the usual Christmas gift. An Apple iPod.

I think FM capability would also be nice so he
can tune to the gym's TV stations. From what I've read, this is pretty
mutually exclusive.

Not sure what technology lets FM tune into the audio channel of cable TV
broadcasts.
