I reccomend an ipod, it will work after a little tinkering around with practically any music playing software.

Its also the simplest and coolest looking one out there >.>

iPods are good players, probably the reason why people pick stupid holes in them becuase they can't find anything else wrong with them. I've had mine for just over two years and have experienced one problem with it, which isn't much considering. Although they do have problems, they're going to get most press becuase they're the market leaders. I'd go for an iPod for quality and ease of use, if you don't have a budget that is. I also don't get why people have problems with iTunes, it's so much easier than WMP and isn't so nasty.

Why does it need to have a colour screen? That bumps the price up significantly as you can get a good quality MP3 player for really cheap without the colour screen.

Personally, I want a pink Zune for Christmas.

Grado>Bose>Sennheiser for headphones, as for mp3 players, i'd say get an ipod if you can FIND ONE FOR CHEAP. i'd never pay the retail price for an ipod cuz it's just outrageous, you can easily find a competitor to do the same **** as an ipod with significantly less frustrating software. apple is b.s. for customer care too, i worked at a best buy for a while and the consensus was don't even bother trying to get help from apple, whereas both sony and sandisk have been very cooperative with customer care issues in past. (in sandisk's case they actually sent a new mp3 player with no questions asked)

I don't believe you worked for best buy and would recommend someone buying that piece of crap ipod. they quality is sucks if you want to use it for watching videos.....I went to best buy and asked the guy there to turn on one and put it next to another player(it was a creative labs one) The other player had waaaaaaay better resolution on it. The only problem was that it was slightly more expensive at the time but I believe prices have gone down.

i believe the original post was asking about MP3 PLAYERS, not video players. of course i wouldn't recommend an ipod as a video player, that's just ridiculous. and anyone who cares about customer service would take what i said about apple and not even consider them. but if ur a rich kid and u don't care, then buy an ipod :P
