mp3 player durability

Ive dropped a 30 pound weight on my Ipod at the gym, it did leave a permanant mark on the screen, but this really made me a beleiver that just the durability of this player is worth the extra money. My friend has the Dell Jukebox, he dropped it and it broke. Anyone heard anything about Nomad Jukebox Zen's durability? I was interested in it if I ever needed another player, or to recommend to someone. Also does that player allow you to make playlists on the fly? This is my biggest problem w/ ipod

I've got a little Creative Nomad Muvo, basically a thumb drive with a triple-a battery, simple controls, and a headphones hack. I've had it for a year now and I've dropped it on the on carpeted and non-carpeted floors, paved sidewalks, the street, and other places. It's so light it just bounces around. It still works fine.
