hey you should check out this one: www.iloveyes.net, check for the YHD-8G..

i got one of these but I bashed it around alot and broke it.. i choose between an ipod nano (4G) and this YES-8G
=) about the time the ipod nano first came out.

at the time (beginning of of 2006) it was pretty nice.. but now there must be better out. its japanese brand.

Sony's players are fantastic, but if they still use SonicStage software I wouldn't recommend - it's crap  :(

I like my Creative ZenMicro (not colour though but this model is discontinued anyway )- not sure about the newer models but mine has FM Radio - you can record the radio and also voice messages (there is a built in mic on top). Sound quality is good.

The biggest problem is that accessories don't seem to survive from generation to generation - I have a Zen Micro and had to buy a universal power adaptor as the one supplied was UK only and also a car charger. I also have a TravelDock Zen  (speakers) and various other bits and pieces. None of the extras are cheap and they won't work with the newly released MP3 players. I am thinking of buying a Zen MicroPhoto while I can still find them and put it into storage for when my Micro dies.

I think the peripheral problem is a growing one for all makes though - lots don't even supply power adaptors any more (eg. iPod Nano and new Creative players) as they expect you to charge up via the USB connector. Fine if you are near a computer but if you are travelling without one ....

Personally I think it is the old consumables for printers ripoff scam ... change the peripherals with each model so that when your player dies you have to start all over again.

hamradio:
Keep up with the recommendations although the search has ended as someone might find it useful.  The reason it has ended as I decided not to get a mp3 player right now since I still have Windows 2000 and most I liked needed Windows XP.  :)
