The iAudio I have was good while it lasted. But ultimately it was too heavy, and too bulky. What is the player true geeks and portable audio connoisseurs are using these days? I don't care much about watching video at all. There are three musts though: 1. The most important thing is good sound quality 2. Player is small and lightweight, but with at least 20gigs space, so I'm guessing hard drive based. 3. I can use the player as a portable hard drive, I want to be able to plug into a usb port on any computer and have it recognized as an external drive, and be able to transfer music freely to and from the mp3 player. Good battery life would be nice but not a must have
The new Zune is pretty hot right now. I think the zune is finally going to take some of the monopoly that the ipod has right now.
Love my creative muvo....love the software that comes with it as well...I think it is tougher than any other mp3 player out there. I run with mine, have dropped it, you name it. It keeps on going.
