About the same size as an Ipod Nano and only costs around $100. Way better deal. I have had mine for a few months with absolutely no problems. Highly reccomended.

Transfer of songs is easy as drag and drop. Wheel design is a huge plus as well.

I own a Sandisk MP3 player and have been very, very happy with it. Plus, the FM tuner works great and is must have if you're gym broadcasts TV audio over an FM network. Apple iPods do not, by default, receive FM signals.

Forget the iPod and go with a Sandisk.

This player plays just about every format and has 8GB of flash memory to hold a ton of songs, videos, pictures, whatever. It has an expansion slot so it can be used with camera cards. (via Engadget)

6GB, MicroSD expansion card, TWENTY HOURS of battery life, replaceable battery (!), supports MP3, WMA PlaysForSure, bigger & better screen than a Nano with pretty much the same size (a little thicker...), and a hell of a lot cheaper. iPods are for losers. Get with the Sansa. http://www.lilmonsta.com/ (via engadget.com)
