I have an iAudio X5 20GB myself and love it.

Major points:

1. Supports open formats.
2. Beautiful build quality - no scratches here.
3. Is supported from Windows, Linux, Mac.

It is not perfect - the biggest issues are:
1. I get errors on some flac files. I am not sure this is caused by me
using beta firmware or using maximum flac compression (--best).
2. Basic interface - there isn't an internal database like iPod and
like.

I solved #1 by using ogg 256kb instead - 20B is not near enough to
waste the extra space flac takes. 

My squeezebox 2 is fed flac only of course.
