Title: MP3 players
Post by: raj on October 14, 2008, 09:19:57 AM
I got a nice little check back from my mortgage company because there was too much money in my escrow account.  Sorta like that Monopoly Chance card, bank error in your favor, collect $10.

Anyway, it's probably about time I broke down and got an MP3 player.  I'll most likely use it for podcasts rather than music.  So what MP3 players do folks here like/use?  The catch is it has to be under $100 so no iPod or Zune.  Video capability is nice, FM tuner a must.

Thanks

I believe Menard got a decent Sansa for a reasonable price under $100.

I got a Sony mp3 player 2 years ago for about $40. I've got about 90-100 songs on it, but I lost the disc that came with it to transfer/change files - so I don't really bother with the thing anymore.

SanDisk is the #2 seller of mp3 players (after Apple), and they have quite a few models for under $100 (quite a bit under, in fact). TigerDirect.com lists 1 gig players as low as $17 (refurb), with only one player costing over $100. Other websites will have other deals, but I've been happy with the SanDisk players I've got (I got two of them through woot.com for $10 apiece).

Creative also has some very good players, though fewer come with the FM tuner. Newegg lists several for under $100.
