Im in the market for a mp3 player

**Burns** · 12-11-2007, 02:42 AM

Im gonna put this here because i guess it falls in the Multimedia area??? If not move it.

Im looking for a mp3 player. I dont want to pay a lot for it but i want something nice. I need something to keep me occupied on my flight to CA in January.

I have been scanning ebay but have not found much that interest me.

It can be used. Im not opposed to that.

Exploderpilot · 12-11-2007, 02:43 AM

What do you want to spend?

**Burns** · 12-11-2007, 02:47 AM

Im a cheap butt lol

Around 40 bucks

Exploderpilot · 12-11-2007, 02:50 AM

Just go to walmart dude. They have simple ones that are pretty cheap. Or, check ol' craigslist.com......used stuff is always cheap.

**Burns** · 12-11-2007, 02:52 AM

Im checking ebay right not and found a few

Exploderpilot · 12-11-2007, 02:53 AM

**Burns** · 12-11-2007, 02:55 AM

Uhhh have fun with that man.

Exploderpilot · 12-11-2007, 02:57 AM

yeah i know. i hope they aren't Aholes.....

**Burns** · 12-11-2007, 03:10 AM

Well i hope they are not.

If anyone else has any ideas im open. I may just spend the money and get a good one.

Ebay isn't much of a bargain these days... moreover this time of year when everyone wants something shipped in time for Christmas. I suggest NewEgg or any chain store if you just have to touch it first.

2GB, $42 (after rebate...).

The Muvo is fairly cheap plastic construction, but they seem to last a long time and for its size it's pretty easy to use and has a decent menu system.

You could also get a 1GB Zen stone for $32

There are tons of crap MP3 players around, so I've been sticking with Creative. I'm sure some of the less well known brands are fine, but I haven't bothered to try them in a store to be sure.

1GB isn't much these days, but it'll give you more than enough space (several full albums and a dozen podcasts) to keep you busy on a short trip.

Exploderpilot · 12-11-2007, 10:58 AM

I would go with one of the ones ritsui mentioned. The cool thing about some of those creative players, is that the have a usb plug integrated, and can be used as flash storage as well(documents etc)

Charlie · 12-11-2007, 12:35 PM

Found one for you!

I saw it at Walgreens last week for 20 bucks.
Good luck getting it past customs

*mounty71* · 12-11-2007, 12:38 PM

If you do get something used, just be warned that the battery life may be significantly lower than a brand new one. It might not last the entire flight out here.

*sodjer6* · 12-11-2007, 04:13 PM

I just picked up a referb'd sansa e250 2GB not to long for $30, watch www.woot.com they've had the 4GB sansa e260 a few times in the past couple weeks.
