Screw Ipods and Zunes, my family used Zen players
Specifically we all had the Vision M model as seen below. Brother and I had 30 gigs while our mom had the 60 gig version. This was cool because Ipod video players at the time had less storage, worse screens, and were more expensive I believe. Apparently the company is still making mp3 players, but really I don't know anyone else who has owned one or heard of one.

I used this thing to death- if they kept making them and just increased the HDD space and slimmed down the player a bit, I would totally buy one. I remember the battery life being far ahead of iPods at the time, and the interface was really easy to scroll through because you could pick the letter that the artist's name started with and skip right to it. Sound quality was nice, too, since Creative made them. I palmed it off on a relative when I upgraded to an iPod Classic- apparently it still worked, albeit with worsening battery life, up until recently.
