Basically, for $300 and above, you really can't go wrong with the iPod. Under that, tho its a little more complicated. For 200-300 the best choice would be the Rio Carbon. It's small, has 5gb of space and looks pretty damned good. Under 200 would probably be the Carbon's little brother, the Nitrus, it's dressed in all black but only has 1.5gb. Under 100, well, there's not really much to be had. Your best bet would probably be the Muvo from Creative or one of Rio's flash based players. Alternatively, if you wanted to be different, you could get a PalmOne Tungsten E or Zire 71 along with a 512mb sd card for under 300 dollars.
