I'm a reasonably happy e260/rockbox user. The stickiest drawback is that you have to boot into the original firmware to use the USB interface. Rockbox will even generate a scroblog file that you can use to update track info to last.fm - a friend wrote a q&d python script which I use for that. (me on last.fm: www.last.fm/user/revmem). Things like this are also nice grandfather devices. By which I mean I can carry images around on it instead of (or in addition to) having wallet photos :) And I can put podcasts on it to listen to during the down-time while babysitting.
