Audio books

Has anyone had experience with the NetLibrary service offered by many public library systems? To use it you need a library card, and an MP3 player; however not just any player will do. Local libraries have a list of players that are known to work properly with these downloads, but it is very limited.

Creative is one of the makes listed, but they tell me that nothing over 200mb can be put on them, no matter what the capacity actually is; the problem is being worked on, but who knows when it will be solved.

Other players are either expensive, with all kinds of bells and whistles not needed by someone who only wants to listen to books while exercising, and such, or else have their own problems.

The idea seems a very good one, but at the moment there appear to be a lot of bugs.

So. . . I would like suggestions about what player(s) might be appropriate. Libraries say they are constantly evaluating and updating the list, and I do know what at least one local library has more models than the "official" list gives.
