I can't help you but just wanted to say that the main reason i have not got an iPod is because it lacks a FM radio. At that price it really should have one!
I have heard good things about the Zen but don't have one so won't comment too much.

Perhaps a pocket DAB radio would do the trick? Depends on your coverage. Or worst case a pocket FM radio? Does mean carrying another little gadget but would probably be chaper than getting another MP3 player?

My bro has a Zen and I have a Zen Touch.

They are fantastic tbh. I tried the ipod first, and I feel the Creative players had better sound quality and far better battery life, plus the radio.

theres a few hard disk mp3 players out there with FM radios built in, or available via a remote control.

try looking on www.amazon.co.uk for players from the likes of Creative, Rio, and iRiver.

also i thingk there is an add on for the ipod that will let it tune into a radio staion.

I have Zen Touch too, but I thought the radio comes separate with the product??

I have seen it is possible to buy a separate radio component for iPod for around £30-40.

Anyway if you have 20gb of music why would you still want a radio?
