My current MP3 player is fucked. I have to balance something heavy on the headphone jack or I get nothing but treble out of it - and even then it can be dodgy. Oh, and occasionally it decides to fast forward for no good reason.

So, what with a bonus arriving soon, I'm going to replace it. I want an 8GB model - and so I'm considering either an iPod Nano or a Sandisk Sansa. Both get good reviews, with the Sandisk having the twin advantages of not having to use iTunes to put music on it and being £25 cheaper, while having a user interface that's apparently nice, but not quite as nice as the iPod.

Anyone care to make any recommendations?

Well there is an alternative to Itunes (a few actually).

I've heard this one is really good, but costs $25 (but maybe there is a torrent.....)

The redchair stuff for the Rio Karma is rather nice.
(hopes Karma keeps lasting...)
