I have recently been looking on the market for an MP3 player..
Is the Ipod really all that great? Im sure if u own a mac it would be keen. But what are some of the Good ones out there? The Creative Zen looks ok( almost like an i-pod clone) So please any feedback what so ever would really help out..
Oh and i know i want plenty of storage.. thats about it..

ipod = horrible battery length
actually any mp3 player workking on a lithium ion rechargeable battery has very short time of playback before the battery empties
the ipod and creative have a touch sensitive thing, and its HORRIBLY made and is very hard to use -.-

now if u really want something amazing just for music, try this insane sony

if u want something with video+music, check out some creative stuff, i saw something really cool on their site but i forgot what it was called (had a 3.7" lcd screen and 30 gb)

Thanks for the battery advice for the Lithium rechageables.. not much of an issue if i hook it up to a car charger. but whats so big about the video? i would use it to view pics on vacation or road trips.. or to dump memory from the digi cam to there..
And that sony digital looks uber cool... might have to go look n find one to see in person..
