Hey dogs,

Im getting ready to purchase an MP3 player for the first time. I have played with a Zune and found it lacking in a few areas. Let me outline what is important to me in this device, so you guys can tell me if such a thing exists or if its out of my price range.

1. Drag and drop explorer compatibility. I hate using bundled software, and I plan on using this as a bit of a portable storage device.

2. I want to be able to take my songs, movies, etc and put the on the device as well as take them off. Zune apparently cannot do this.

3. A decent screen for watching movies as well as divx/avi compatibility. If re-encoding isnt too difficult I can deal with that.

4. I would like it to have an FM radio and or an FM transmitter.

5. Im sure only the ipod touch will have this, but internet access would be nice as well.

Any suggestions in the $200 price range?

Thanks all!

I have the creative vision:m and will say that you have to use there software. It does have a harddrive mode and maybe that will allow you to do the drag and drop method. It seems like the new players make you use there software now which sucks. I also have a cowon m3 which lets me use it through explorer but it does not do video. I miss the drag and drop feature.
