I would have to recommend the ipod. Personally, I'm not a mac person and would almost go out of my way to avoid their products, but the ipod is simply the best player on the market right now. Origonally I bought a rio kharma, hoping that what I heard about their hard drive problems would not be true. After 1 week of use my player wouldn't work anymore, and I had all the symptoms of common hard drive problem. I returned it for a refund. I'd stay away from that player. Luckily a week later, the new 4'th gen ipod came out. Not only was it a superior player, but it was 100 dollars less than it used to be. The 20 gig is now very competative price wise with any other player, and I'd be hard pressed to find a better interface/player. So far I haven't regretted my decision to get an ipod at all.
