I've forgotten the brand/model, but I had an MP3 player from the same era that I much preferred to the ipods. It was about 2/3rds the price for the same amount of storage and you could straight up drop and drag folders from Windows Explorer onto the player as if it were an external HD.

Also, the 3DO, which was a fine piece of hardware at the time.
