    iPod's are nice MP3 players but at the end of the day I think a flash player is just easier for music. Plug it in, drag your files, it charges as you do this, and be done with it.

    I'll back up the Creative Zen. I've had one for a couple years now and its suited me just fine. I'm a lot like Dumpy, in that I just want my mp3 player for music, I don't intend to buy much music, and I like to listen to complete albums rather than shuffle through my music. And its fit all of those needs. Also, considering how much of a klutz I can be, its been pretty durable.

    How's that Clip doing, Dumpy?

    I've been reading a lot about it and apparently that little guy has one of the best processors ever in a digital player. The sound quality is supposed to be phenomenal.

    Even with the stock phones the sound quality should be very good.

    I like it a lot. I have about 120 albums on it, which is just about the limit. The only drawbacks are that it is hard to read the display in daylight, and the clip-on attachment sometimes falls off. I can't recall if you mentioned those weaknesses or I read about them separately, but they are pretty well-known. I use it with a pair of clip-on Phillips headphones. I'd defnitiely recommend it to someone who wants an MP3 player to exercise with.

    My piano teacher even gave me a Bon Jovi mix to load onto it. Sweet!

    I have some headphones where the cord is too short to put the player in my pants pocket. Is the clip-on attachment good enough to put on my shirt or a cap or something?

    yes, I attach it to my shorts when I am running and it doesn't come off. When I drop the player on the ground (when I'm holding it in my hand, or about to put it on the counter, etc.) the clip-on attachment will snap off. It fits into a little groove, so it doesn't break--it is just more of an annoyance than anything.

    I use windows media audio format (using windows media player) at 64 kbps. I think it was recommended by my brother in law who is into (and teaches) computer stuff. At that rate, I can't hear much difference in sound quality vs. the higher rate, and you can fit a lot more music. For me, it's all about cramming as much music on my player as possible.

    Of course, he also recommended I get Vista, which is a piece of crap.

    Oh shit, there's no way to re-order tracks on a Sansa? I got one earlier in the week. Guess it was cheap for a reason.
