The 120 GB Zune I have been using since 2008 or so finally bit the dust last night. Along with it goes a part of myself, because I use it every day at work for about eight hours and god damn did I ever love that thing.
Naturally, I would like to replace it, but they're not exactly cranking out Zunes anymore, so I need to replace it with something that is being made. That's where you all come in, because I am not sure what to look for and feeling a little lost.
I went to the Apple store last weekend to look at iPods, and the biggest one only has 114 gigs of usable HD space. I can work with that if that's the best I can do, but it was 114 gigs for $400, and that feels pretty steep for that amount of space. I also would prefer it to not have a touch screen, but that isn't a deal breaker.
I have music in a variety of formats, and whenever possible I like to listen to lossless stuff. From what the sales clerk told me the iPod only does m4a file format, so all the .flac and .wma lossless stuff I have isn't going to transfer. (I know I can convert it, and I will if I have to.)
I am wondering if there is a player that I can just drop a variety of file formats into and have it run without too many issues. I know that some of the more out there codecs probably won't be supported, but I'd like to not have all 200 gigs of my music in m4a format.
