My Ipod shuffle died a couple of years ago, it was fun while it lasted, but the capacity was, well, about the same as a small CD case of CD's. IMHO it was pretty much a throwaway item.
I recently bought myself a Zune 120 GB for a Christmas present. My kids both have one, they've been very reliable, and I don't want to pay for satellite radio, don't have a CD player in the car (it's a 1995, yes I am cheap, trying to save up for retirement and pay for 2 kids in college at the same time) and it works great for me. It's not that compact, but I have a lot of music on there and there's room for much, much more. It also holds photos and videos.
