There are actually a few out there in that size range, made by Creative, iRiver, Samsung, and Sansa that i know of off hand, I work at best buy and know we carry those, so you could maybe check out best buy's website. Also, i dont know how much you are looking to spend, but in some cases, you are getting 2 gigs for 200, or 4 gigs for 250, when you can get a 30 gig iPod or another one like it for only 300. As fas as your problems with creative, i was unaware that there were issues like this, i actually just replaced my old mp3 player with the Creative vision:m. Also, stay away from phillips mp3 players.
