I second the iaudio (also known as jetaudio). My iaudio U2 just
accidentally went through the wash and worked like a champ afterword
(other than needing a battery charge). Firmware upgrades are free, but
have to be done from windows, unless someone has figured out a way to do
it from linux.
If I was shopping again today, I don't know
what I'd buy. AFAICT,
iriver has no replacement model with the same features :-( I *need* the
external mic input, and I now have so many OGGs that it'd be annoying to
switch to anything that doesn't play them.
iaudio ... they do almost everything right. nitpicks: record to MP3
format when WAV or OGG should be an option. we have an X5 and a smaller
2GB flash player.
