Could anyone recommend me a mp3 player?

    My iPod recently broke, 6 months out of warranty :mad:, and I'm in the market for a new mp3 player.

    I really want a player which I can just drag 'n drop my media onto and have it do all the organising.

    I want it to have a fairly large capacity, my music library is currently 71GB. I'd like a capacity of 30GB minimum.

    It'd be nice if it played formats like ogg and flac without the need for conversion.

    I don't want to be able to play videos, games, access the internet. A FM radio might be nice though.

    I am leaning towards getting an older ipod and putting rockbox on it, finding a reputable source might be a problem. Has anyone used the cowon a2? This would obviously be a far more expensive option. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks

    A Cowon S9 32Gb, after seeing one I'm planning on getting a 16Gb version myself shortly.

    I have a Creative Zen 32GB. A great little machine with an FM radio on board. I highly recommend it.

    The Cowon S9 has stunning sound quality, and supports every format I can throw at it (not sure if it support m4a). The interface is a bit of a dog though, but you can download skins that improve the situation.

    I should of mentioned that I'd like to be able to use it with Linux. The creative website says you need windows.

    The s9 kinda looks overkill for what I need. It's got all this functionality I don't need.

    Thanks for the replies
