mp3 players

[markolas]

It seems like there was a thread about this a long time ago, but damned if I can find it.

Anyway, I'm thinking about getting an mp3 player in the near future and I'm not convinced I want an iPod. I'm looking to see what other people's opinions here were about the different brands - iPod, Sony, Creative Zen, etc.

I'd probably only be using it to play music, so the video capability doesn't matter much to me and I don't need to store my entire music collection on it - just enough for a few hours' worth of songs at the most.
