Raggie, $50 256MB player is going to be hard to beat. You may want to google the model number to search for reviews to see if anybody has reviewed it.

For what it's worth, I'm considering buying a 256MB player from this site. There's a lot of players to choose from.

Don't know that it'll be considered cheap, but I have an Iriver that rocks. Would definately buy another.

I think the Sandisk Micro Cruzer thing is a cool idea. With 256 meg it's $80 but you can just swap in more of those pen drives:

Basically you're paying about $50 for the player with no memory, and another $30 for the 256 meg plug-in drive. A 512-meg drive is about $50 and you can plug that instead of the 256 meg.

I still use a Panasonic portable mp3 cd player. It cost about $50 and 700 meg cd-r blanks are what, 5 cents each or something these days /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Plus, my car player also can play the mp3 cd's.

IFP-180t. It's a little older and only 128 meg. It sounds great and plays plenty loud. And since it's a flash based player, runtime is great(about 20hrs on a AA I believe). It also has a FM radio and voice recorder.

I have the older RCA Lyra with 128MB that uses SD/MMC cards. The newer one has 256MB of RAM and I think is still around a hundred or so. With or w/o the SD/MMC card it can be used as a USB drive, and with the latest firmware it will play the MP3 Pro standard that compresses batter than the standard MP3. Smaller files that sound the same, or better sounding for the same encryption rate.
The 256MB version is identical except for the color, and the additional 128MB of RAM. I and another guy have these and have had no real problems with them. I did have a firmeware issue with mine for a bit, but it was resolved easily. The first firmware revision that allowed the MP3 Pro would sometimes cause the player to shut off randomly when playing MP3 Pro songs. It was fixed in later versions, and I've had absolutely no problems with it since.
