Ummm. iPod is a digital music player. MP3 is the coding used to 'rip' CDs into a format for an iPod or other similar player to play the music.
Best player, will cause countless arguemnts on here. The are those who believe Apple (iPods) are the best and will never listen to others. And those who love their Creatives, iRivers, Cowans or other players. But normally it's Apple v Creative.
Personal choice really, Ipods tend to be more expensive than Creatives for the same amount of disk space. Shop around, it will depend on what you want it for and your budget.

You are confused, an Ipod IS an MP3 player.

Read the reviews and see what you think. Personally i think Creative players are better than Ipods, but plenty would disagree.

An ipod is a brand of MP3 player made by Apple. The word has entered common usage, just as the hoover has become shorthand for vacuum cleaner, walkman for personal cassette player. This does NOT mean that ipods are the best MP3 players by any means, just that they happen to be the most popular. As the other poster suggested, I would check out some of Creative's players if you want good sound and lots of features (type 'Creative Zen' into Amazon), or an iRiver player if you are a Mac user.
