Hi Glen, I won a Creative Zen Vision M 30GB<http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zenvisionm/>about 5 years ago and have never had any problems with it at all. There's plenty of room to put my favourite music on and I can always swap music to and from an external hard drive. The Windows driver support is excellent as is the Creative support website. In that time many of my friends have been through about 3 different models of iPod or other similar Sony models. Aside from the fact that I won it, I've done very well with this and I know a couple of other people who paid for theirs and are also still enjoying their Zen. Highly recommended. I'm sure there are larger capacities available in the series now, too.
