Haven't been around in a while. My laptop got a virus (not from P2P) and I lost all my files, including my 1200+ songs! So I am getting ready to start over from square one.

Anyway, on to the point... I want to buy an mp3 player and I don't know much about them, so I thought I would ask the experts. What do you guys think is the best brand? I am moderately tech savvy so ease of use is somewhat important, but I am much more interested in quality and value. TIA
