For that price, might as well get the zen V plus. Larger storage, holds photos and can play videos. Very small and portable, I can't wait until they make affordable 30gig flash mp3 players

Amazon.com: Creative Zen V Plus 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black/Blue): Electronics

Or for another $90 or so, you can get one of these

Amazon.com: Toshiba MES30VW Gigabeat 30 GB Portable Media Player (White): Electronics

I know it is a bit more, but ****, i got one and they are brilliant. So easy to use, great interface and screen, plays video, radio, lots of diff sound file types, pics, and also if you record tv you can automatically stream it through onto that so you can watch later.

Also with 4gb or 2gb you are going to run out of space for your music pretty **** quickly imo, unless you dont listen to much. And if you dont listen to much, get a vinyl player imo =P

****, if you do listen to a lot of music, get a vinyl player, ahha

People who buy 2gig and 4gig players are probably the honest ones :-p

haha, now what do you mean by that? I have paid for every one of my approximate 4000 songs, some of which I had to write to the record companies asking if it were OK for me to transfer them from vinyl to digital media

Actually there is a legal way! Ruckus.com, all you need is a college email address. Of course the songs are DRM'ed though... >.<

I actually just gave a presentation in one of my classes on why DRM is bad and just an annoyance instead of deterrent...
