I'm currently in the market for a mp3 player but i haven't come across one that holds my specifications.
My budget would be around $200 although if its really good i wouldn't mind paying a bit more.
The mp3 I had before was Sansa Sandisk e280. It was perfect for a long time but it finally died and Its about time that I had an upgrade anyway.
Things I liked about it were:
(No apple products please. I hate the thought of having to use iTunes)

The mp3 I had before was Sansa Sandisk e280. It was perfect for a long time but it finally died and Its about time that I had an upgrade anyway.
Things I liked about it were:
- It could store my huge music collection (it was 8GB)
- Scrolling through music was easy since it had a wheel
- Interface was decent
- It had a memory card slot
- It was visible as a thumb drive. Could easily drop mp3 files in and that was that
- Ideally I want to be able to scroll through music easily and quickly (simlar to the sansa or ipod wheel). I hate relying on solely using buttons to go through my music! It takes so long considering my vast music collection. That's why Sansa was great! It had buttons to navigate though the main menu and a wheel to go through your music! Unfortunately Sansa haven't kept up with the market and still have old fashion mp3 players. If they simply upgraded e280 to whats currently available I would be all over that!
- I wouldn't mind a touch screen. I REALLY LIKED Samsungs Yepp YP P2 and P3. However i cant find anyone selling them online. Plus i bet the price would be freaken high since they dont manufacturer them anymore. I wanted something simliar to that but with current technology. I also loved the interface particularly with the P2 and how you could change it to 3 different designs. You could even change the wallpaper!
(I checked out Zune but i hated the interface design)
- Minimum 8GB. The more gigs the better
- It should endure a reasonable amount of wrights
- It should be visible as a thumb drive
- And durability!
