MP3/iPod advice please.

Sorry if I sound a bit thick but what I know about these things you could write on the back of a stamp!!

I am looking for an MP3/iPod with approx 32g.

I want one that will allow me to copy my own cd's onto it via my pc. not by using itunes or similar.

I don't want to use it for anything else but music, no photos or videos.
Any advice and recommendations greatly appreciated.
Thanks
pam

    I have a Sony A series - it's only 16GB but a good player.

    Creative Zen will do that and it also comes with an SD card slot so if you run out of space, unlike ipods you can buy a card. There's a direct 'rip CD audio' option that comes with the software.

    I have a Creative Zen and love it - you know there's a but coming- But the SD card is not integrated into the player.

    Yes you can play songs from the SD card, but you can't bookmark, auto-restart, make playlists etc. I use it to hold DVD rips.

    The big plus for me about the Zen is that it's so easy to Sync from Windows Media Player.
