Need help with new MP3 Player purchase

Nov 23, 2008 10:35PM PST

So, I have had two players die in the last 3 weeks. One was a 30gb Zune and the other a Creative Vision M. Both I loved dearly.

I have been reading reviews like a madman and cannot make a good decision regarding a new mp3 player.

I want something with a bunch of memory, good sound quality, decent battery life. It would be great if it can work with Linux, but I guess that isn't a must.

Right now I'm down to four players:

1. 120gb Zune
2. 120gb iPod Classic
3. 80gb Archos 605 WiFi
4. 16gb Cowon D2

I like all of these players but I just cannot decide.

Any help would be much appreciated.
