Choosing an MP3 Player

So before i jump straight into buying an Ipod i was wondering if you guys used any other MP3 players. Bare in mind i would like them to be fairly small and not very heavy as i do a lot of mountain biking.

Suggestions would be great i'm not looking for anything over £150 ideally ($300)

Have a look at the Creative Zen models, they look absolutely stunning and much cheaper than an ipod. =)

I've had a look at the creative zens but they're not really what i'm looking for.

Okay, well this is the only other thing I can think of, nothing else really on the market as it's so dominated by the ipods.

I've had both creatives and sony's. They offer really great products.

But im afraid I've got an ipod now. Theres really nothing compared to them.

Ye. Its not that i don't want an Ipod i just want to look at the other options first before i part with my cash.

I've got an Ipod Nano and I love it.

Tried other mp3s, but I seriously don't think anything compares.

If you were to get one, wait a bit, as new ones should be coming out. iPod That is.
