I've had a couple of Neuros systems (20GB and 80GB) as well as a couple
of iRiver players and I have to say that the best mp3 player I've had to
date is...my 30GB iPod. My FC4 T41 mounts the iPod as an HFS+ USB drive
and gtkpod works wonderfully.=20

If you don't want to pop for the iPod, I'd get one of the flash-based
iRivers. I still use mine on occasion.
