    Ok I'm finally planning on upgrading from MiniDiscs.

    My budget is €220 (£150).

    My the main things I'm looking for is good storage (20gb +)

    Easy to use as a portable HD (less software the better)

    Any ideas?

    Most PMDs need some kind of driver for them to be used as a portable HD. iirc it was only iRivers that worked without any drivers or software at all - but this was some years ago so might not still be the case.

    My fully updated PC did recognise and install my Zen without me having to install any software - iirc.

    iPod? Popular for a reason but maybe not so hot on a budget (unless you can get someone to help you get their student/teacher discount).

    >iriver=cool as shit (thats good)

    David Davies has one. Maybe not so cool with the hip crowd :)

    What about this?
    I know it's a refurb but I'm sure it's grando.
