I'm looking into buying an MP3 player. At first I was just going to buy an iPod, but I've come across some info that says iPod is easily beat by other MP3 players as far as functionality, price, and durability. I'm not really sure which one to go with!
Here is what I would need in a MP3 player:
1. An MP3 player that plays FM music.
2. Ease of file transfers. I have hundreds of MP3s stored on my computer that I would like to transfer to my MP3 player. (I heard somewhere that if I bought an iPod I would have to download all my music from iTunes. I've never seen the site, nor do I know much about MP3 players....)
3. This isn't really important...but I would like to find one that has alot of accessories, like skins, cases, etc. I like to change the look as well as protecting it.
4. PRICE...I am going to have to save for one, so I'd like to get the most for my money.
Do anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm going to agree with everyone else with Creative
I have a Creative Zen Vision M and it has a lot of nice features iPod doesn't
-FM radio
-voice recorder
-ability to edit and name playlists

If I were you I would get a Creative MuVo TX FM. They come in various memory sizes and prices. I bought the 512 MB one for around $65 at a compusa closeout sale. This device has FM radio and plays mp3/wma. You do not need to install anything on your PC. In fact, the device acts like a thumb drive and will accept normal computer files so you can carry files to another computer. Any unprotected mp3/wma you drag into the device will play.

I have a ipod but from my experience i would buy any Zen mp3 i believe they all have FM radios but then you make a choice on how much storage you would like on it.

the only one i can think of that has a lot of accessories is iPOD
and i don't think they all have to be downloaded from iTunes
as for the FM music i can't help you there
my advice is to get a shuffle you can get memory cards for it i think
by the way the first guy is wrong i have a Zen and it doesn't get FM
