I would like to start a list of mp3 players that people are happy with. Yes, you can do a search on different players, and read reviews etc. But this list is for current owners, who have had and used their player for 'a while', and are happy with it. Simple as that. Something that works as you expect it to, not necessarily funky features. This should provide help for those who want to buy.
So mine is:
<A HREF="http://www.clieplaza.com/" target="_new">Sony Clie N760c</A>
I have a memory stick reader, and using Windows Explorer I simply transfer upto 128 MB of files that i want to listen to over the course of the day. Easy, and it works. Quality is good too.
I've had a Creative Labs MuVo MP3 player ($131 at Newegg - cheap) for a couple of months now and I'm happy with it. Same as your Sony it has 128MB of flash memory and it also functions as a USB thumb drive, all in a package about the size of a cigarette lighter. I've dropped it on the floor a couple of times now and it's so lightweight it just bounced around a little and it still works fine. Runs on a single AAA battery for 12+ hours.
I just bought this one with 128MB memory from the <A HREF="http://www.sztge.com/product/MP3-MP304.htm" target="_new">TGE group </A> for my son, he thinks it is awesome!
The review I read on it says it is better than the <A HREF="http://www.nomadworld.com/products/muvo/" target="_new">Creative Nomad MuVo</A> unit and cheaper, the review is <A HREF="http://www.dansdata.com/usbmp3.htm#fred" target="_new">here</A> and an updated pic is <A HREF="http://www.dansdata.com/images/usbmp3/fred280.jpg" target="_new">here</A>.

I think the latest Creative Muvo NX rocks! A much better & improved version of the current Muvo. It has a cool blue backlit LCD that display ID3 tags, track nos, play time, play mode & EQ settings. You can switch the LCD display to suit left or right hand operation & a built-in Mic too!. I was playing with one that belongs to a friend & I'm impressed. Friend said the Muvo NX can be connected directly to the M-Port of a Creative I-Trigue speaker for awesome playback.
Time i added to my own list.
Been playing for a while with an <A HREF="http://www.apple.com/ipod/" target="_new">iPod</A>, and not even a current generation one, but an older 5 GB version.
It absolutely rocks. Obviously the size is brilliant, as i only have 128MB on my clie, although it's still not enough for my 32 GB collection. It's also my friend's iPod. Anyone got one for sale cheap?
