and Why?

Well for a portable player its got to be sony,the sound is quite superb especially using the now defunct atrac..(bad move sony)

What about "Other"? My all time favorite is Rio. Today, I have no favorites. TrekStor comes close only because of the vibez and the former Rio developer they have working the vibez firmware (also inherited from Rio via Sigmatel). The rest of their lineup offers nothing exciting, and their support blows.

Apple, for the convenience, simplicity and clean design. I've been a customer for almost 30 years, as well. Apple has been good to me.

Also, audiophilia doesn't matter much when I'm on the go or in the car. That the iPod isn't sonically perfect doesn't matter much. When I want to do serious, critical listening, there is the home rig. When I'm driving, in an airplane or out for a walk, I don't notice much the imperfect fidelity. When I'm at home, I'll light up the tubes, spin some vinyl and really dig into the music.

Haven't tried them all (Meizu and Sandisk to be precise), but my favourite so far is Cowon. D2 and iAudio 7 for example are some good choices.

Stax

But I voted Apple, since there were no Stax in the list.

 

[Night Surfer]

LOL _ I have had at least one of every brand on your list but my current favorite is not on it:
Microsoft (Zune 80)

 

[FrederikS|TPU]

Cowon, simple, functional, with great sound quality. With Apple being a close second.

Gapless playback and random playback by album are my most important requirements. I don't know any other players that do both of these. I have an old Rio Cali that I only use for radio because playback options and ease of use drive me crazy.
