  iRiver is a korean brand.. it's pretty good..
  
  iPod is Apple's biggest money maker... and frankly, it's sexy as all heck
  
  Creative is good but it's as ugly as sin

  Consumers are not dumb. Go for the one with quality and looks.

  The only problem with Creative Muvo 2 is that...it sucks
  especially when u wanna go from track to track..
  
  audio quality is quite good, above average...
  
  in terms of looks i'd say..go iPod!

  Anything that uses a mini sized hard disk drive is prone to mechanical failure. As long as there are moving parts, theres always a chance for failure. Like the iPod for instance, utilizes a HDD manufacured by toshiba. Creative by hitachi.

  Yah. For that case, my perference is actually towards non-harddisk players.
  
  Plus, I don't need tons of songs to be pack in the player.

  Imagine an iPod with bad sectors, how the hell do you troubleshoot that by yourself?
