iPod Alternatives for Mac OS X?

pazu13 writes "I had a first-generation iPod which treated me badly and finally died, after roughly two years of use. I bought another one last year, but after a battery failure several months ago and a sad iPod icon this morning, I think it's time to take my business elsewhere. However, I own a Mac (which has treated me well), and Apple's market dominance seems to have driven most competitors from their own platform. XNJB appears to provide Mac-users more freedom of choice, but outside of this does anyone have a good recommendation for a non-Apple Mac OS X-compatible MP3 player?"

If you don't like iPods, that's your decision. But batteries and hard drives are third-party components that will probably fail about equally across all MP3 players, so you can't really attribute your problems to specific deficiencies in the iPod design.
