Mine broke last weekend (It was a Creative Zen) and I am in the market for a new one but don't know much the brands. I have heard mix reviews about iPods so I was wondering what everyone her recommends what I want

At least 30 gigs
under $500
it as a recorder too if possible

Thanks un advance

I adore my Ipod, but I've never tried anything else...

Although I do suggest, whichever MP3 player you get, check out Best Buy, Simply because they have 4 year product service plans which cover the battery, which will inevitably run out several times, covers technical defects too. My mother has had her menu button break too and they repaired that, it can be a lifesaver

Don't go to Best Buy. Go to CompUSA if they have them near you. Their service plan is better. You can bring it in right before the plan ends and trade your item in for the original price you paid to be put towards an upgraded model. Most people don't know about that, but my husband used to work there and it is a great service. I worked at Best Buy and trying to get good customer service from BB is like trying to pull teeth.

I think you have to buy an attachment for it.

Archos AV 500. Check out the reviews on Amazon.com. Pricegrabber.com has several vendors that sell the 30GB model for under $500. Functions as an mp3/mpeg-4/wmv player, external hard drive AND portable DVR (including TV dock). Probably the most versatile machine on the market under $500.
