recording
ive got a creative zen micro (3GB) and it can record, the quality isn't perfect but i think its pretty good ... and i think you can record up until your storage is used up cause i've recorded for like 2 hours at a time before without any problems

becuase everyone cares about the aesthetics of your MP3 player that is in your pocket? i can see the ipos is directly marketed towards sheep like you.playboy2njoy said:
if you want to record, get the iRiver or iaudio x5. recording, watching videos, better sound quality, driverless operation, better GUI, FM radio.

i'll make the decision easier for u
i've seen the zen touch/micro, iriver h10 and of course my own ipod 40g
system interface:
1. ipod (with honours)
2. iriver (it's good enough)
3. creative...plain bad, flimsy if u want to call it
music/sound quality
1. creative
2. iriver
3. ipod
aesthetics
1. iriver h10
2...no one cares
p.s. u have to buy like a 50 dollar add-on to voice record ipods, id rather get an iriver or something if that's a priority and they have disappointing, average sound quality. otherwise ipods are superior on price and convenience. and i got mine from harristechnology.com (coles myer chain) for $450 before the photos came out. hope this helps

ipod isnt the best
i don't understand, are you promoting the ipod or the iriver/creative?playboy2njoy said:
all i know is the iriver and iaudio x5 sounds like bliss with my e3c's and sounds like ass unamped with an ipod.
usability is based on whether one can be bothered to pick up their manual and thoroughly spend 15 minutes reading it on their newly purchased $500 investment.

My ipod's going well, once i had problem it decided to corrupt about half my files (dont ask why) so I had to reformat and re-add the files, the battery life has reduced, it goes for about 5-5-6hrs straight (not changing tracks) on half way volume and no equalizer, it used to do about 10 hours I purchased it may 10 2004
any questions ask away I like it but I reckon you should look into creative's range, my brother bought one for $500 it plays movies at 15fps plus normal mp3s of course, has onboard decoder, it comes with heaps of features and came with everything you can think of, its called "Creative iRiver H340 40GB"
edit:
I saw the movies play at 15fps you really dont notice, if you watch cartoons like the simpsons, you definently cant tell the difference

Dont Get An Ipod!!!
ipods are not that great.
if u want to record high quality voices and attach an external mic then i suggest
an iaudio X5, from cowan.
these players are sweet, they do voice recordings from a built in mic up to 320kbps and there is a socket to attach an external mic, they have a 30gb hd and play vids and the radio. + you can record straight from the radio.
this player is sweet!!!
i had an ipod mini, but now i have the X5 and there is no comparison. the sound quality is even better.
the iaudio plays vids at 15fps

iaudio x5 not so good sound quality, the new sony hdd is awesome although no recording or radio ... still not a perfect mp3 player out there ... ipods are not so good, too many problems, crap headphones and not really enough features and moderately low battery life ... id go for the sony if i could at this moment though ... i have an iriver ifp-595 and give it 10/10 but its only 512mb ...

Difference in sound quality doesn't really matter, unless you've got headphones more expensive than your mp3 player and your hearing is suberb at picking up little differences. So as long as your songs are encoded at a bood enough bitrate, you should be fine.
I've got a zen touch (as it was $150 cheaper than the ipod at the time and almost double battery life) and am quite happy with it, although if i had the money, (at least another couple hundred) i would've got an iRiver H320. That is probably the best one you could get if you can afford it, but in reality all mp3 players are pretty much the same (the interface on each may be different but once you get used to it, you're fine, and of course there is compatibility and size issues)
For me the biggest selling point was money and battery life, a i like to get products at cheapest price, and am too lazy to regularly recharge the battery, as i listen to it everyday to and from uni (about 3 hours a day) for a whole week, and have quite a collection of music (several days worth)
