iPod alternatives for OS X?

pazu13 writes: I had a first-generation iPod, which treated me badly, then well, then 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. Problem is, 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 OS-X-compatible mp3 player?
