Hey everyone, it's my first post here. I'm not much of an audiophile but I'm getting there.

Here's the deal:

- I have about $300-350 to spend on an MP3 Jukebox.
- Sound quality is very important.
- Interface is very important.
- All my MP3's are ID3 tagged, but only half my collection is organized in any kind of folder hierarchy. If one player leans more to ID3 for interface, rather than folders and filenames, that is very important.

Given these factors, which player would you recommend? If you own either, what features do you find exceptionally useful and what features do you find useless? Are there any bugs or quirks that hamper the function of the player or your enjoyment of it?

Thanks for the help.

PS- I plan to be using a pair of Etymotic ER-6's with the player, my budget won't allow for the better ones. I've been looking into the ER-4's and the new Shure in-ear headphones. Are the ER-4's worth the extra $150? Are the ER-6's any good? Are the Shure's really that bad?

Thanks again! Please be kind to the new guy.
