I have a two year old Nomad Zen 60GB. They didn't make many with the 60GB drive (you can get the Zen Xtra w/60GB now.)
I too use Notmad Explorer. They have a plugin to do FLAC transcoding. It's taken 5 days to get my collection (11,500 songs, 320GB FLAC) to the player (which will be pretty much full at 160Kbps CBR MP3). That 100 songs an hour so I can't complain. I am considering a 1GB flash-based player for the gym, running indoors, short trips, etc. I think the Zen Nano Plus would be a good choice for me.
