Wondering if it's worth it

Unless you crave video, which does still seem problematic on the Fuze–I’m a music guy, I don’t use the video–it seems the Fuze is still an excellent player.

I use mine constantly, am always moving music on and off, and as long as I run everything through mp3tag to Write the ID3 tags as ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 and use the Track Numbering wizard with Leading Zeroes–so the track numbers are 01,02, 03, etc.–I have no problems. Ever.

But this is really the wrong place to ask. The really comprehensive (except for a certain excluded gadget) site is Anything But iPod   and they really like the Clip, which is basically the Fuze minus video pretensions or an expansion slot.
