Looking for decent advice on picking up a new(er) MP3 player...
My laptop sucks, so my only real worthwhile option is something that won't need software to run, and something that won't require an update. I used an old Samsung USB type MP3 player before, and it opened as a folder where you could drag and drop files which was convenient, but it was only 1GB and you had to buy AAA batteries to power it which was somewhat of a hassle. I've also owned a Creative Zen Xtra, but my AC adapter died, and also aside from it normally being a wicked player (albeit old), it would occasionally power off or die when the unit itself got really cold from being outside. I've been looking into a Zune, but I'm not sure how the software thing would work, since my last player was a Sony Walkman, and it never worked properly on this computer since it needed a Windows Media Player update.
I know it's a pretty specific thing to ask, but can anyone recommend something decent? I've been through 4-5 iPods so recommending those will be kindly ignored.
