Which is the best MP3/ MP4 player other than I pod?

Ipod is great. No doubts. But there are many like me who are not ready to pay exorbitant price and still enjoy quality music. I have been thinking of buying a new MP 3 since long. What do you guys suggest? Sonix 7 pro sounds promising. Has anyone used it? Can you share a review? I am keen to buy a good MP3. Many have advertized on Ebay...giving a 4 GB MP3 for very less. But I also read somewhere that those MP3s specially sent from Hong Kong or China are not genuine products. So I am looking to buy something in my local market. I have searched Argos, Curry's John Lewis etc...but didn't find a product which suits my needs and fancy. So anyone who can suggest me something nice would do a big favour on me. Don't suggest gumtree....don't rely on it. I am looking for a stylish 4GB or more MP3/MP4 which has a good sound quality and battery back up and is not very higly priced. Looking forward to your suggestions.

i havent had anything other than an ipod in a really long time... but i have friends that have the zune and i hear its really easy to use and you can seamlessly sync it with all your microsoft stuff like xbox 360 (only if you have wireless adapter) your tv in some cases and it also has that wireless sync with your computer.... haha i always kinda wanted one for all those features

Ipod is buying a headache. Just like most other things that come from MAC, the business model seems to be "if we make it expensive and cumbersome to use, people will respect it more." I bought my wife the RCA Opal M4002. It's a 2Gig player, but it also comes in a 4gig model (M4004). The music quality is great, it comes with voice recording but most important (to me at least) is, you can change out the songs in a flash. You don't need any special software to use it, and even the 4gig model sells for much less than the 4gig Ipods. My son has an Ipod, I am using it while he is away for a couple of years, but when he comes home and I buy my own... I'll drop the $70-90 for another RCA instead of the overpriced, over rated, user UNfriendly, Ipod anything.
