Just a clarification, iPods are not the only mp3 players that can also be used as a portable drive. I think most players show up as portable drives on the computer. So dragging and dropping non-multimedia files shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway...its been a few days...any closer to a choice?

Well, mine does last a while but I can see that. I just replaced mine after about two years. It's not trivial but it wasn't that hard either this replacement guide helped :-)

I should get two more years out of this unit by the looks of things. Not bad ...

I would recommend having a look at IAUDIO's players. They are not as well-known, but they are quite feature rich, albeit with a poorer user interface than the IPods.

Sorry for taking so long. I have been busy at work and havent had a chance to come and look at a few of the replies. I think I am going to go with the Apple Ipod Nano 8GB 2nd Gen. Its small, has excellent battery life and its easy enough to use. I bought 2, one for my own personal x-mas gift to myself and one for my girlfriend. Thanks for all your help.

Now that I have decided to buy an 8gb Ipod Nano I want to buy cases for them. My girlfriend and I like to read manga and I am currently learnign how to speak Japanese. I thought it would be kind of cool to find an Ipod Nano case that had some japanese kanji on it. I mean, as long as the case is cool I wont care what it looks like, but I dont want to get her one that is just a plain color. I wanted to know if you have ever seen any ipod nano cases with japanese kanji, etc and where I could purchase them.
