Well, at the risk of repeating what's already been said on this thread, the software really isn't all that tricky on the Walkman. I've had no probs with it at all and the sound quality is awesome!

One more time..

You don't HAVE to use the software you get with the mp3 player.

Alright, I'm in the market for a new MP3 player having had an iPod Mini for 18 months or so.

I'd like something that is 20Gb+ and that doesn't use iTunes. I'd also consider the lack of a video player a bonus because I will never use it.

What would you all recommend?

My experience with my Creative Zen Nano has been great.....although the 1GB size is a huge downer.

Creative players work with WMP (although I wouldn't recomment this) and i've been using it with Media Monkey with great sucess. I'll get another Creative when I'm in the market to upgrade.
