I have a SanDisk Digital Audio Player. Tiny little thing, easily fits in the palm of my hand, and holds 1.0 GB (about 2/3 of my music files). AAA battery operated, which is nice, because I hate messing with rechargeables, and also works as a radio or a recording device. Pretty easy to use, and I've had no compatability problems either, which I've can be an issue with iPods. I just copied and pasted my files and everything worked great. Only drawback was the price (around $100, not cheap), but worth it for me.
