Hi, I was thinking of ditching my ipod, but I like iTunes and have loads of (unprotected) AAC files. Any other good players that will allow me to use them without converting them to mp3?

Cheers

The iPod's 18 hour battery life is pretty good. I doubt you'll find a device for less money that can match the iPod/iTunes overall ease of use. The iPod doesn't lock you into AAC. It plays MP3 just fine. Would you rather be locked into Microsoft's format? That's what the other music stores sell.
