I'm curious what everyone's choice of portable audio player is. I was a die hard iPod fanatic, but since my trusty old 3rd gen just died, I graduated to a new Zune (the 16GB version) and....wow. I'm converted!

I use a Zune. I've had 4 or 5 iPods but they kept breaking every year, and I liked the look and features on the Zune v2. The v1 looked ugly IMO.

iPod Touch 2G FTW! I absolutely love it! Sometimes I don't even bother setting up my laptop for days at a time like i normally would just because it can do so much. Definitely worth the money I always tell people.

I was an early adopter of the Zune, which still works fine after 2 years. Close call on the Z2K scare though...

Before that I had one of those Sony mp3 players.

I hate owning a cell phone but I've only used it once.

I just gave my old 5G iPod and gave it to my great uncle. He loves it. the only thing he had before was a crappy no screen flash-drive-style mp3 player.

I can't imagine life without a cell phone. I have a blackberry too, so even worse. Honestly though, I can actually separate myself from it if needed.

I'm really liking my new Zune. Too bad Microsoft didn't release this before the iPod..

Wow! Not even a CD player???

See, I prefer records in all seriousness. Better audio quality. I know it's almost impossible to tell, but there's just something about vinyl.

Records do have great audio quality. I usually see what Record and Tape Traders have in stock. I usually can find some good Iron Maiden or Metallica. Sounds oh so good.
