What could be better than an iPod?

I'm looking for a compact portable mp3 player with plenty of storage and decent organizing.  Something to use with a whole MP3 library.  Something with good battery life that isn't too bulky.  Any suggestions?

Creative Zen Xtra for the same price range you can get 5X more for your money. 4Gig iPod Mini is for sale at $199 while for the same price you can get a used 60 Gig Zen Xtra..
