First off think twice about the creative players if you want hassle free / software free music transfer. I love their hardware though, the sound quality is amazing, so if you can deal with non UMS then go for it.
I personally picked up a Samsung YP-Z5 (maybe a slightly different model number in your country) Here is my personal review on it: ichigolemons.blogjapan.jp/1094759/ The unit is great and it is UMS out of the box as long as you don’t have media player 10 or better installed. If you do then UMS can be enabled by firmware. The interface rocks even though some reviewers say the input is touchy, you need to use it with you finger tip not a huge part of you finger. Great battery life, best sounding player I have had so far (also have a clix which is good also but not quite as good). The thing I like most about the Samsung is its all metal casing and a scratch resistant lcd cover. It is like a mini tank ^^. You can get it up to a 4gb model, it is flash so uber rugged. Now I think the e10 uses the same audio dac and very similar processor to the clix so I am guessing this unit rocks also (I do like my clix a lot also ^^). The e10 is HDD based so not as rugged, but it is iriver (no complaints about their quality, have an h10 for a HDD player from them also). Remember UMS is you friend !!! ^^ and the samsung supports it and the iriver should with an update Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ums basically allows your player to play files that have been uploaded with out management software (so true drag and drop). In most cases media player 10 and 11 will work with ums only players. The Samsung is a ums and mtp player (option in menu). Iriver player are either one or the other (you cannot switch them in menu, must update the firmware to the function you want). Don’t let this deter you from Iriver as they still are great, plus choosing one or the other isn’t a big deal as I use UMS only except on my clix which has no update as of yet -_-.
The interface to the z5 is tag based and folder tree based (though the extension is not shown in the gui of the file type). You can browse and sort my tag specifics like album, artists, etc or you can just go folder view. Most amazing jew boots
