Question on MP3 players?

I want to get my boyfriend an MP3 player for Christmas. The only problem is that he doesnt have a decent computer, and hes constantly having to reboot it. The only MP3 player I'm familiar with is the ipod, and everytime u want to put a new song on ur ipod, u have to download the song into the library and then hook up the ipod to the comp. and then its pretty muching clearing out the history in ur ipod and uploading all of the old songs plus the new ones into the MP3 player. This normally isnt a big deal, but since hes constantly rebooting the comp. he would have to keep redownloading the songs everytime this happens...... is there any MP3 player that isnt' like this??

thanks

try sandisk much cheaper
i'd look into the zune, although im not yet familiar with its software.

the ipod can be set to update manually, meaning your bf can add songs to the ipod himself, instead of it just updating based on whats in his itunes. thats how i do mine, anyways. also, if you set it to update manually, you can hook it up to other peoples itunes, and get music from them!
ive had 2 mp3 players that are like that: gmini and the creative they each held about 3,000 songs.
Why on earth is he having to continually reboot? Is he overheating his system? Tell him to take the side cover off his computer and stick a box fan up to it. heh.
