which mp3 players is best?

Hi all,

This keeps comming up in conversations and i decided to give you my list of which Mp3 Player i think is good.

I do have a Ipod and you will notice its missing here, its because i think the Ipod is not the best player now, it was a standard setter for sure like everything apple does, I have not used any of these players but I have heard podcasters using the the Zen and iRiver with some amazing results.
on another note, each one may come in many diffrent models, i would not shell out money for a player with not enough capacity, if at all possible get one with a drive built in, I find that if my Ipod had twice that capacity i would find a way to fill it.
I would not buy a 1gig flash "waste of time" drive or mp3 player.
