What are currently the best portable Mp3 players?

[biggiesmallz]

I've been checking out the MPIO FL100 and I think this will be my next mp3 player purchase unless something better is out there?

Have been happily using new version of ipod 15g.
It was painful to part with the cash but I'd never regret it.

MPIO FL100 looks pretty decent though

Have a minidisc and loved it for the battery life, but I just can't bear sitting around uploading songs at 1x speed. NetMD has issue, otherwise it'd be a good choice.

What issue does NetMD have?

iPods are way too expensive.

Ditto.

I love my MD.

I have 3 of them in fact. Dropped over £1k in to them in total over the past 5 years. R30, R50, E900. 80hrs battery life Love the remote.

netmd issues:
can't upload recorded songs (ie, from live concert).
can't delete tracks downloaded via netMD (copy protection BS).
software sucks balls IMO. no where as intuitive as iTunes. Real one works a little better, but... it's real. and yes, i know of the nero/simpleburner method as well.... i'm lazy, and i don't feel it should be necessary for me to do that w/ a $350 piece of hardware (the high end MD's are the only good looking ones)

my main gripe is the software. It's also a little clunky. otherwise, i'm all for it.. remotes are much nicer, and it's smaller/lighter/thinner.

otherwise, ipod

i used ot have the FL100, the thing ate batteries and the interface is kinda crappy. Now I have an iPod and I LOVE IT. If you only need 128 or 256 built in then its ok, but otherwise you need to add in a NIMH charger and a few AAA's, and SD cards. In the end it adds up, I think the new 10GB 3rd gen iPod could have been had for $238 recently. I couldn't wait and I paid $286 and got it the day it came out.
