I'm looking for a player with drag & drop file transfer (no drivers), excellent sound quailty & battery life, and 20+GB of storage. The Zen NX seems to meet all these criteria, except for drag & drop. The nomad muvo supports drag & drop--anyone know if this is a feature the Zen NX will/can support?

Other suggestions?

I could advice you the iRiver iHP-100, but it only has a 10gb drive. The 20gb version will be released and this year. Sound is superb and it supports drag&drop.

Does the new Toshiba support Drag & Drop? Any specs on it's sound?

There is one that connects to a network. This could be set as a aux drive, and drag and drop would work. Cant remember which one it is. the Jukebox types.

Any chance the Rio Karma, Zen NX or iRiver, or I guess iPod, would allow me to load music from either work or home (which is to say OSX or XP), without drivers? This is my top concern. Then I would give the nod to sound quality, the battery life, the 20GB+, then, let's be honest, the cool factor (and I'm tired of seeing iPods).

How does the iRiver sound quality compare to the Zen NX? Or the Rio Karma?

The iRiver uses the latest encoding chips with best sound you can get. It uses the same chip as the Philips HDD100, both reference DAP's what sound quality concerns.
