Does anyone use any other MP3 player besides an iPod?
Im looking to get a new one, and I want something that will hold alot of songs, but I dont want to spend $300 for an iPod.
Im also looking for recomendations on sites to "share" songs from, since Limewire is closed. Thanks for any advice!
Use your smartphone. Just need a headphone jack adapter and a decent size SDHC card and you're good.

Sure there are a bunch of them.
Not sure I want them.
You can get an iPod Nano with 16GB that should hold a few thousand songs for $179.

I like the SanDisk Sansa Fuze. This one is 8GB, plus has a micro SD card slot to increase the capacity..

Love my Zune 120GB. Never had a problem with it in 2 years and I use it hard!

I have had different sandisk products over the years and love them. I have dropped them, stepped on them and left them outside by accident and they still work fine. Plus they allow drag and drop. Also, they run around $60.

I have two Creative Zens and both have excellent sound and function/life span are good. My oldest is till a Zen Vision:M which is an older hard drive model that I am currently looking to update.
I have looked into the Zentouch 2 w/ android but it seems like the screen leaves something to be desired from online reviews. It will be interesting to see what the Samsung Galaxy looks like later this year.
I am still looking at iPod touches but would rather stay away from Apple (personal pref nothing against them)
If I could switch out my BB for and Android phone this problem would be easier.

Right now I've got a sansa clip that I've had for about 2 years. Ridiculously small but it has a display (not for video), very cheap, good sound. But I am thinking about just using my cell phone. I'm picking up a droid soon that I will have to carry with me at just about all times anyway.

I just use my phone now. But, if I were to buy a standalone mp3 player, I would go Sansa Fuze.

Never used an ipod, our family has always used (up til now, we all switched to using our phones) Sansa Views.
Sansa makes a decent mp3/video player. But now my phone has more storage than our biggest Sansa
