Need a new portable player

[admin_exported]

My Creative Zen xfi is dying. I want something new.

Stipulations are...

Musts...

at least 16 GB

allow drag and drop both onto and off the player

have a standard usb slot

Would like

Touchscreen

flac support - but not high in my list of priorities.

What's the thinking of best quality?

I'd use my android phone, but I often fall asleep with it on, and 1. I can live with a dead battery in my mp3 player, not my phone/alarm and 2. I don't want to crush it

Price, anything up to £200.

No use to me...2 of my "must haves"...

allow drag and drop both onto and off the player (and I'll add to this...without changing the file names).

have a standard usb slot

I am very happy with my sansa clip+. It does not have a fancy screen, but it plays music well which is all I care out. I have added a 16gb card, giving 24gb quite cheaply.

The new Zune HD is very good. Slighty better sound quality than an iPod Touch but slighty worse for web browsing (IMO ). It's well worth checking out.

Looks good. And I am assuming being MS, it will be a standard USB, and drag and droppable.

Cheers.

btw, Not bothered about web browsing at all. I want it simply to play mp3s.

Not a looker is it? I may simply end up with an xfi2. Should get some good discount.

I'm not sure if the MS Zune has drag and drop.

I do know that Sony Walkman's (Walkmen?) are drag and drop though. You could pick up a secondhand X-Series from eBay or Amazon. The X-Series has drag and drop, touch screen and the SQ is good. Sony's connects to a computer with a cable that has a standard USB plug at the computer end and Sonys own plug where it connects to the Walkman.
