I love my ipod but one knock i have is that songs that are on your ipod for playing cannot be copied to another computer. well they can but you lose the file names. Every file name is changed to some 4 digit code. does zen do this? is it easier to get your music from your zen player if you lose it than ipod? if not maybe iriver is of some other mp3 player?

there is a way to do it and then keep the names..if you use itunes.

I like the interface and the functionality of the iPod.However, i do prefer the Zen for multi-PC compatibility.I own a 80GB iPod and it's good enough for me.
