Personally, I have a 2GB Apple Nano and wish it had more memory (it was a gift, I was actually waiting for iRiver to drop in price at the time). While it does hold a lot of songs, I like to load entire albums, and for that it kind of limits you (when Troutman mentioned REM's Murmur yesterday, I was disappointed I didn't have any REM loaded).
I'd suggest figure out which model you like the best, then get as much memory in that model as you can afford. If you like Creative and feel comfortable with them, go for it.
One other thing to consider - are you going to want to purchase download music? The iTunes Music Store (iTMS) will only work with iPod. Other services with Digital Rights Management (DRM) will only work with non-iPods. Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks guys. I've done little research, but the three right now that I've narrowed it down to are:
The Ipod Nano 4GB (or I may go with the 2GB):

The Sony 2GB Flash Player:

The Samsung 4GB Flash Player:

They're all Flash players over 2GB. I'd have to make the decision tonight, so let's get in and take the vote or suggest why I shouldn't get a particular model of the 3.
BTW: Bobblehead, I download music using torrents and whatnot, so would that be a problem with any of the players above at all? Thanks.
