pretty much any brand that has a removable battery OR a player with a fixed battery with a REALLY good track record for long term use without any problems.

at least 5 gig, the sync program needs to be super easy to use. i love itunes, but i hate ipods.

help me out, thanks.
dont go above 250usd

ive been reading reviews, still seems like the new generations are pretty hazy. since they havent been around very long, no one knows how long they last, and apple doesnt field test them.

basically...i dont want to get FUCKED shelling out 300 bucks for an mp3 player that will only last 1 year. i dont want to deal with the warranty crap, but still, i want it to last more than a year. at least 2. im mad paranoid about this ipod battery crap.

dude, have you ever changed the din on your bindings? its actually that easy. you take a jewlers screwdriver, and pop the back off, unplug the battery from the cable, and put the new one on, pop it back together, done.

mine had lasted a good 2 years before the hard drive failed due to multiple (like 10=15) drops to pavement.

if you just want music get the dell jukebox 4o gig. it will thousands of songs and music quality is good too. it also has a long lasting buiilt in battery with a short charging time. just go to dells website (www.dell.com) and look under mp3 players or music devices
