I'm a long time user of Creative Mp3 players, dateing back from the Creative Jukebox up to the Creative Zen USB 2.0.

I'm thinking of making a change because I'm sick of creative making me use their stupid mediasource software. I really just want an mp3 player that syncs up with WMP10, preferably useing MTP. It would be really great if it shared track info such as how many times played, song rating(1-5 stars), etc kinda like the Portable Media Centers do. I would hope for reasonable battery life, probably 8+ hours.

Anyone have any suggestions? I think i remember hearing something about Dell DJ and some sort of firmware update they released that uses MTP but I wasn't sure.

Thanks

Plays for sure that should help you out.. for some reason microsoft removed the old page that had the compatability info for WMP10 and replaced it with a "cool devices" page

I was looking for something not quite iRiver, the 20gb iRiver is $350 which is way too much i think unless there is some feature i'm missing. I already have a Portable Media Center, so I don't want picture functionality out of the device, I think i'm leaning towards a 5gb mp3 player, but I would like to know some 20gb ones that have the functionality i'm looking for aswell

the 20gb iriver can usually be found for ~$285

rio carbon. it may not hold as much as you're looking for? but it rocks
