Considered by many to be superior to the Apple iPod for sound reproduction, the Zen brand "Touch" player stores 5000 MP3 songs and holds a 24 hr battery charge.

A very nifty touchpad is used to scroll, customize playlists, and search-navigate your song library.

The Touch player can be played via FM radio in your car, and is fully compatible with MS Windows.  Good enough for DJ'ing a party, and certainly excellent for commuting and exercising, this is a gift most anyone would appreciate.
