The Sansa players are garbage. When I try to skip to the next track there is always a two second delay until the next track starts playing. I have the 8gb Sansa... maybe these just suck. I will never buy anything but an ipod.
Just jumped through five tracks on my nano. No lag. First iPod product for me after going with Creative four previous times. Loved Creative. Love my nano even more. For me, Apple is finally making iPods I can't resist. One of the best gadgets I've ever owned.
Yes, the new "classic" is super laggy. I bought a bigger capacity ipod every time they come out butd the new ones are annoyingly enough slow that I'll wait to see classic 2. The real story is why isn't someone copying the touch and jamming a hard drive in there? Even if they went to 64GB flash that wouldn't be enough for me. It will come eventually but not for a long time. Also I'm thinking the expansion thing is kind of lame. I have a 1GB express and I like it except when you add a 2GB micro SD if takes a long time to boot as it searches the data on the card. I hate to see what happens when you stick a 32GB card in there.
Lag time when skipping through tracks is inexcusable. I dont think the ipod touch or iphone has lag time, but I haven't messed with one yet long enough to notice. The only reason I bought the Sansa was because I did not like the design of the Nano at the time. The new Nano is very nice, a great gadget for music. I have to wait a year or two before getting a new ipod... that's my punishment for going with a non-apple music player.
No lag on my 8gb iPhone. To me the iPod touch and the iPhone are by far the best players on the market. I prefer the phone as it is always at my hip and has pretty much rendered my laptop as useless. Only complain with phone is the headphone jack...damn you apple.

Looks like you already did buy something other than an iPod...
If you don't like the lag time before different tracks, just make sure you don't get a newer iPod- you won't like it either.

So the newer ipods have the same lag time problem? Can anyone else confirm this?
