Hey guys,

Currently have a 40GB Creative Zen Xtra. It's great, but I'll be running out of space in the not-too-distant future.

I would LOVE to have a recharge from USB facility and for it to act as a removeable drive, neither of which the Zen does.

All my collection is VBR MP3 if that makes any difference.

Physical size of device not an issue. Battery life and sound quality would be.

Anything fit the bill?
 
Shouldn't they be bringing out an 80GB MP3 player soon?

Having said that, 60GB should do me for AGES, unless I reencode all my stuff @ higher bitrate, which I don't see myself doing!

I'll look into them (the 60GB ones you mention).
 
Reading around, it seems the iPod is great in terms of ease of use, but mediochre in terms of sound quality and makes massive use of playlists?

Certainly, the sound quaity issue is off-putting. I'd have to try one out with some of my MP3s really.

Do I need to create playlists to load them on to it, as I just have a massive library of MP3s, organised like this:

Artist as directory, Album as directory,

filename is Artist - Album - Track No. - Track Title

File also has ID3V2 tag made from the filename.

Could I just whack them straight on the iPod like that? Works fine for my Creative Zen...
