[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 3335149, member: 40370"] Hey ... gotta agree with John on this regarding the Apple mp3 -> iTunes interface. The mp3 to computer interface via software is the biggest bugaboo with these players, in my admittedly limited experience. I have owned an iPod Mini (4gb) and enjoyed using it. I currently own a 20gb iRiver H10. Previously the interface with Windows Media Player 10 was a major pain in the AHEM! ... but it appears MS has fixed some of the connection bugs in Windows Media Player 11. I cannot speak for the file organization effectiveness of WMP11 though. For the H10 organizing software I use a freebie prog developed by an independent programmer called "Easy H10". The result is that I can pretty much use the H10 as an external hard drive AND find and play my mp3 files with great ease. Boy was it murder getting there though.... So ... I greatly prefer what I have to anything else out there, but it was a long road to get there. If you do not want to go through the hassle of tweaking and configuring an mp3 player like I did, then stick with an iPod. Once you get the knack of the iTunes interface it is pretty easy. [/QUOTE]
