Between me and my husband we’ve owned additional MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the previous couple of years I’ve settled all the way down to one line of players. Why? because i was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
