The iPod is popular amongst school kids and the elderly. I'd get one of those.

I know the small iriver mp3s are crap. but who knows about the bigger ones like that one. All i can say about that specific one is that it feels kinda cheap and not very well built. I feels as fragile and cheap as a instant camera.

that thing looks pretty cool, the Asono Mica, not that crap cube.
I wonder how efficient the sound navigation is, and wish it held more music.

i think that iriver looks like a remote dimmer switch for a light?

I have a black Zen Micro. It's been good...but....I bought it because it had a FM tuner (that sucks) and other goodies.
I ripped the cord out of the ear pieces by sitting up too fast once (they were still in my hear, even after the cable snapped).
It stopped playing music about 3 weeks in. Had to send to Creative. It was painless, though, and they were quick to fix it.
It comes with an extra battery, which is great.
Overall, I am happy with it, but I don't think it's better than an iPod.
Personally, if I were to do it again, I'd look around. Now that I know the FM reception is not great, then it doesnt' do anything the iPod doesnt'. That nano just looks cool to me.
Those others linked on here looked pretty good, too.

I have a big brick for an mp3 player.
it's the Zen extra by creativehttp://www.creative.com/products…
I'have had it for a year and it's worked great. no regrets so far.

Thanks for making this thread! I was about to do it myself, because I'm planning on buying a new one really soon. My old one has served me well, but can only hold an embarrassing amount of songs (I bought it like 4 years ago, when iPod weren't even out).

Why are people having a go at the ipod just because it is the most popular. It's still a very good mp3 player with an innovative click wheel navigation, and which is the only thing that integrates with the ease of use of itunes.
It seems people that avoid a quality product/brand simply due to its popularity are ignorant simpletons so there.
