Best MP3 players

Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)
The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.
- Good: Improved video battery life and brighter screen • Brings gapless playback to the masses • New features such as instant search and enhanced games • Excellent overall value
- Bad: No major new functions such as FM radio, wireless, recording • Small screen not conducive to video viewing • Proprietary USB cable • Narrow native video-format compatibility • Body is still scratch prone
- Specs: Hard disk • 80GB • 320 x 240 pixels • Yes • See more specifications
- RRP: AU$499.00 • Where to buy? Check price listings

i find the zen vision m has excellent battery life, great sound and video and is much easier to use than an ipod, loaded with features as well.
zen vision m rules!! -

So far the best sound for mp3 players I've encountered is Cowon iAudio. Creative does not comes close at all. Sony or Samsung yes, sound good too.
