Buying a portable MP3/WMA Player

I bought a flash memory - mp3/wma/ogg - music player few weeks ago. I looked at different models and finally decided on Yepp by Samsung. I am quite happy with the product. In the process of making the purchase, I also considered iPod Shuffle. iPod shuffle stands for everything not Apple. Its old wine in an old bottle with a new shiny label trying to sell itself on the brand image of its predecessor. There is no display, no radio,and the other cool features that Samsung's Yepp or iRiver or Creative or SanDisk Has. Shuffle qualifies only as a fool's ostentatious aquisition or a ad gullible person's trap!
