Mike,
I'm currently using the Archos Recorder 20, which is a 20-gig MP3
player. I also use the open-source firmware, RockBox, with it, which
has made a wonderful improvement.
I highly recommend this unit, for it's stability and versatility.
It also comes with USB 2.0, so transfer speeds are Firewire-fast.
There is one limitiation to using RockBox currently, and that is it does
not support recording -- however, ROLO (a bootloader) allows me to boot
into the stock firmware and record, then reboot back into RockBox for
playing!
