Hi all,
I am happy enough with my Nano, but my wife is looking for a mp3 player that has "real" fast forward and not just that slow scanning that the Nano allows.
Can anyone recommend a player that has this feature?
Thanks for any info.

I'm not sure about that feature, but the iRiver Clix Gen2 is a sweet looking player for its price.
 
Samsung Yeep YP-U2 and YP-U3 are both good MP3 players.
You can set how fast a fastforward is, and I don't know if they are the only two providing this settings.
Anyway, these two solve your problems.
In addition, the simple USB thumbdrive design is best for most users.
The sound quality is not a question, with the DNSe effect.
I think Samsung is a good MP3 player manufacturer, if you want a good value of your money but not a bundle of rarely used premium functions.
