Cool, thanks.

Basically, I desire a portable device that:

a) has a sizable capacity (30+ GIG)
b) supports MP3 format
c) does not require software (like I-TUNES) or has software that can easily be hacked or worked around
d) does not force me to use some digital copyright authentication or something

Basically, aside from the ultra-trendiness of the I-POD (which turns me off), I want a device that does not need some stupid software like I-TUNES.

I want to be able to plug in the device, have it pop-up in My Computer (as if it was just another hard drive) and let me dump MP3s onto it.

Does the Creative 30 GIG device support this kind of activity? I could care less about video/picture viewing.

Thanks - Bart

I have had experience with all of the players so if you have questions ask away.
