I don't know all the various options around but my Sony HD-5 is perfect as far as I'm concerned...

I'd agree with the sony thing.
They're cheaper and can store like 13,000 songs on a 20GB with no loss of quality. tho the higher compression does improve the sound.

Take a look at the HD5 or the A3000 both are pretty good

just make sure you're ready to hate the software. everyone else seems to. . .

yet i dont mind it to much

DO NOT BUY A SONY

I bought one just before Xmas, A3000, by mid january I hated the fucking thing so much that I took it back to the shop and exchanged it for an Ipod. I cannot tell you strongly enough what a pile of shit that MP3 player is, and the software that goes along with it is enough to make any man kill himself. It's full of glitches and errors, and when you buy it they advise you to go nline and download patches to make it work! Um, sorry, but if I've just spent £200 on an MP3 player I'd expect it to work. They were on the news in January and Sony pretty much admitted they didn't work and they didn't know why.

Get the 30gb colour Ipod, that's a brilliant machine.

Do they still make 40 gig Creative Zens? If so, I'd recommend that, as I've never had bother with mine, and I've had it for about a year now.

I've never had any problems with the HD-5. I've had 3 iPods in the past 2 years - all of which screwed up!

I don't find the SonicStage software all that bad. Granted, iTunes is spot on, but the SonicStage doesn't give me any problems. It's not caused any glitches or errors or anything for me before...

Just bad experiences in each company's case for us eh Elwood?

I think it's cos the iPod loses possible song memory to games, calenders and all the other garbage they have on them...
