My poor, much-abused old CD player has finally died after 4-5 years of being dragged all over New York while I was at school, bouncing off several floors, and taking a couple minor Snapple baths, and I'm thinking that I want to get an mp3 player to replace it rather than another CD player. No iPod (I have ish with Mac, and they're a pain in the neck anyway) and no Zune. But I don't really know what else is out there- what's good and what isn't and all that. (Come on, I've been using a series of CD players since I was 10 years old .) What brands/models should I look into?
