Well, I suppose hardware is the appropriate forum...

Anyhow, I plan on buying a MP3 player and am looking for recommendations. I have at least 36GB (downloaded and whatever was in one CD case), but probably have more somewhere. This means I need at least 40GB of storage. I'm kind of leaning for a 60GB iPod (Still hate Apple, though). Video capability would be nice, though not necessary (pr0n in class?!?!?!?!?). From those specifications, iPod 60 GB is the only one I can come up with, but if anybody has alternative players I'd be more than glad to hear them... as long as it's not Toshiba Gigabeat.

All Creative Zen players come highly recommended, automatically. Not by me though, because I've never had one and can't really say which ones are good or not. The Zen Vision M plays video like the iPod video, but there are mixed reactions about it. I've heard it's won awards, but then again the new Pink Panther film managed to find a critic that would say it was hillarious just for the goddamned poster. Just look around for reviews.

I'm in the market for a new player too, and I'm going to get an iPod Video. I hate the price you pay for the Apple brand, I hate the way iTunes won't support other players, and I hate every single trendy twat on the high street having one. The only thing I want is unhindered support for the iTunes Music Store, Podcasts, Music and Video. Unfortunately only one player has that, and it's the iPod. Boo sucks to be me :-(

I have a really old Zen 20 GB and it's still working great. So I would recomend those if you want something cheaper than an iPod.

Look's pretty sweet. Still $400, though. Plus I'd have to order from the internet, which is difficult without a bank/credit card.

I also want to point out that very few MP3 players these days look jaw droppingly gorgeous. After buying top of the range Minidisc players for a while, for me most are just dull and boring. All Zens look ugly in my opinion, that iAudio is just dull and unimaginative. I honestly think only Apple and Sony are actually pushing the boundaries, design-wise.
