Here is a link to a site that allows you to compare them side by side. It is good to compare features and such

Good web site. I've been trying to find out if the SanDisk Sansa e280 plays .ogg files. One reference I found says that the SanDisk Sansa e200 series plays ogg. However, when I look at the 280, I don't see ogg mentioned in the list of formats. I'll keep looking.

The e280 IS a member of the e200 series. The caveat I have is whether they've removed ogg between v1 and v2 of the player. Don't know the answer.

I found a post that said v2 (of the Sansa e200s) no longer supports ogg. I'm now researching the Sony NWZ-A618. I've seen some good reviews, but I need to confirm the ability to play ogg.

I use a the Sansa e240 with a 2GB MicroSD card, I also use (open Source) RockBox and it works great! I can even play micro Doom on the Sansa

RockBox supports Ogg files and other open formats! Check out

Open Source Rules!

Open Source always rules! Now if I could get my CD player in my truck to play Ogg files (next hardware upgrade)

I have a Creative MuVo v100 1GB mp3 player.

It's only 1GB and they make larger ones now, I've had it for a few years now without any major problems.

I like this one because I just plug it into a usb port and I can drag and drop my mp3 files on to it. In addition, it works great as a usb flash drive for file storage too.

It only supports mp3 file format for music.

Sony HD5 here. Had it since 2005 and its been a really good little player holding 30gb, lasted longer than my iPod (failed after a year). Only problem is that it can't be used on linux as far as I can tell.

Give me about 10 minutes and I'll let you know!! Just about ready to hook mine up to Amarok.
