Creative Technology ZEN Nano Plus (512 MB) MP3 Player

I love the sleek black color. Doesn't feel cheap like other competitors. The screen is perfect; it's very easy to read and maneuver between songs and other settings. The volume gets really loud without distorting the sound (important so I can hear over the exercise machines at the gym). The sound is fabulous, like listening to a CD. You don't need the software that comes with it. Once you install the driver you can just drag the songs into your USB drive. You can also shuffle songs within individual folders. I can go on and on, but I think you get the idea how great this thing is!
