not to mention that it's apparantly the only "free" (as in, no proprietary software needed to transfer files) mp3 player out there.

i have a cute little panasonic 256 mb, not software required and weighs 50g uses as AAA battery that lasts 10 hours, the only problem is its less than adaquate memory

For those who recommend Sony digital audio players, I have one word for you... SonicStage. Ugh.

Despite the attempts of every other company to copy the iPod's interface, the iPod is still (in my opinion) the most elegant, easiest-to-use audio player. The fact that it doesn't support drag-and-drop is drawback, but at least iTunes is much more refined than any other music management app out there (*cough*SonicStage*cough*).

Oh, and I don't hate on Creative or iRiver players, so the least y'all could do is stop hating on iPods. To each his own, eh?

Supports more formtats,
Smaller,
Nicer OS, very easy to make your own playlists and stuff,
Cheaper by loads (20gb Ipod = £220 20gb Song = £180)
Comes with headphones, nice carry case and other extras (Ipod comes with itunes)
Can be used as a hard dribe

There are more as well. My friend had an Ipod and he hated everything about it, he sold it on ebay and ordered his Sony, he now spits at people who own Ipods

I read that the sony Hd-3 includes an Itunes-like software, and if you drag and drop that the MP3 files will not play.

i laugh at anyone who invested in any SONY mp3 players... and don't even get me started with the iRiver...

as far as i'm concerned, the best ones are the i-pod photo (60GB) and the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra...

I think the best is the Creative Zen Micro.

5GiG, witch is enogh for me. FM tuner, you dont get that with many. 12 Hour batery Life. The price for it is cheap too ($185 after tax).

I dont need to play video or anything else but mp3s, thats why i bught it.
