What do you like about your mp3 player? What don't you like?

Which mp3 player do you have? I have the Sandisk Sansa. It's 2GB and plays mp3s, videos, photos, radio, records your voice, records the radio, and is okay for music. I like the good quality screen for videos. I like the radio feature, it's nice. I don't really use the picture thing or the voice recorder. But what I really don't like about this player is, you cannot put your music into folders. Which wouldn't be so bad for music. But for audiobooks it is horrible. Think of audio book CDs... sometimes they have 99 tracks per CD or a track every 3 minutes or at least 5 tracks per CD generally. Now let's say all of those are called track01, track02, and track03. On each CD. Even if they aren't, if they aren't something alphabetical, the Sansa will screw it all up. Everytime I want to listen to an audiobook, I can only put one CD on there at a time and have to delete everything else. Totally defeats the purpose of having 2 GBs. I think I'll keep this one to use for the radio feature (the only thing I really use), and music. I'm looking for something that does better with audiobooks. To buy eventually. At some point after I buy a digital camera.

I have a 20GB iPod. I like the size, since it seems I will never fill it up completely (I'm barely using something like 4GB right now...), and at the time there had yet to be any video iPods and the like. It does like to freeze up sometimes, usually due to low battery, but lately it's been running into quite a few corrupted songs after I accidentally restored the hard drive to its original state. Loading everything back on to it was a pain, since there were some songs I no longer had on iTunes. But all in all, I like it; it works for what I need it to, and does have several ways of grouping songs (i.e. artist, song, genre, playlist, etc.).

Question about grouping songs... can you just choose to add the songs all into a folder? Or does it do it for you? I want something that I can control, because things that try to do things for me usually get it wrong.

Do you have the e250 model? If so, that's the same one I have. I love it. It holds just enough songs for me, and I also have a whole movie on there. It's great.
