Most people go off the specs when buying a jukebox (biggest hard drive, longest battery life, etc) but having had a few of these, I found the biggest differentiating factor to be the user-interface.

I am currently using an iriver ihp120 which is the sexiest non-ipod out there.

The plus points are that it's small (but houses a large drive), plug&play for transferring your other files, 18 hour battery life and plays pretty much any format you have out there.

Unfortunately, it also takes 1 minute to boot up and is really awkward to organise playlists. If you want ease of use, go for one of the Creative jukebox zen series - great interface and can create playlists on the go. My one was stolen and I stupidly replaced it with the iriver.

I'll probably be getting the Sony NWHD1 (catchy!), but not before I've had a chance to play with one first.
