I finally had a chance to check out the zen vision w, very nice I must say. My only real complaint is that it uses compactflash. All other devices that I have use SD, and just recently bought a 2GB card for my Wii. Not that it really should matter anyway, but still it bugs me. I also saw the zen vision m. Only difference that I am seeing is that it is not widescreen, anything else that I should be aware of?

Choices, choices, choices....still got some shopping around to do.

doesn't it come with a SD to compactflash adapter?

Integrated Plug&View? Compact Flash I & II Slot
Transferring pictures from your camera to ZEN Vision W has never been easier. Simply slot in your camera's Compact Flash (CF) memory card and lets ZEN Vision W do the rest. The optional Compact Flash card adapter supports all your favorite memory card formats such as SD, MMC, Memory Stick and more.

ah, it's optional. there's some on ebay for ~$25

so whoever here is anti DRM, what do you use?

Plus, keep in mind that I want to use it 50/50, video/audio. I don't see myself using it only for audio...Wonder how/if DRM effects Media Center recorded television...

I have an Iriver MP3 playerwith 1 gig of flash memory. It's very small. It holds about 230 songs and plays for 12 hours on one AA battery. Mine was $229.00 2.5 years ago. They now sell at Newegg for about $150.00, I think. There is no video on this model.

I'm not particularly anti-drm. However, I'm a bit worried about a particular format going "out-of-style", which is why I won't buy DRM until they're atleast lossless; so I can burn and re-rip without a loss in quality.

Anyway, I have an old iriver ihp-120 with the rockbox firmware loaded on it. It's a great player (especially with that firmware, since the iriver firmware sucked from the beginning).

What about one of the archos players that act as DVR's?
