i have the slimx and i think its a great player overall, but there are some issues. the biggest problem for me is that it skips when i'm, not doing anything or it gets stuck in the middle of a song and is just paused....aside from that its great...though hardrive based mp3 players will get you more capacity...i think the Nomad Jukeboxes have gone down to this range...for a bit more you could get a refurb 5 gb ipod.
