Cheap MP3 player?

Anybody have any experience with those really cheap MP3 players you can get on e-bay and flea markets?
Only reason I am asking is that I have HORRID luck with MP3 players. In the past 3 years, I have been through literally 13 I-PODS. I feel like I am putting $200-$300 dollars in a paper bag and burning it. If it's only going to last me 3 months anyways, figured I might try one of the cheapo's.

 

I use my blackberry as an mp3 player. Personally I don't like carrying a second device.

My buddy picked up a Sansa for like $40 and really likes it, though. Plays videos and everything.

 

I have a sansa, and I love it. Nice, cheap, and easy to use.

 

+1 to the blackberry i have a very large card in mine (16gb) and its perfect

 

well my dad has one of those sansa ones but it's small it holds a couple gigs
and has radio

but you have to hit next or back to change the song, no scrolling

was 30-40 bucks i think

 

Hmm. I will have to study.
Not sure on the brands. I seen some on e-bay and they were 8G's delivered for $20
But, scrolling is not an option. I gotta be able to select/have a menu.
Main use is for background/rhythm while I play guitar. I am having a resurgence. Unfortunately my ex (to remain un-named but was a member here ) made me practically quit playing guitar. The year and a half excursion has taken its toll and I need serious practice, specially since I am being asked to put together another band! An MP3 player is crucial to this.

 

Thats horrible she made you quit, the worlds luckiest girl(my current wifey duh! lol) tried to get me to get a real job while i go to school and shes makes mega bucks but i stuck to my guns and i just play video games everyday and basketball in 6 different leagues every week lol

 

Dammit. Not sure of the b-ball (exchange it for hockey, racing, or ...) but the video games sounds nice. DAM-IT! And judging by the pic, she's better looking than any sugar momma I could catch. OK, OP, you officially have me PO'd. I am now dwelling on the awfulness of past relationships, my failed life, and the disgrace of global society, all while in the corner in the fetal position. All because of you. I have officially boycotted you as a member. Enjoy your 3reef career packleaderless, which of course is sure to fail.

 

LMAO sorry man i def got lucky this chick makes 80 plus, she runs her own business doiing marketing and advertising and shes hot and for some reason puts up with me.....hmmmm 5 years later i still dont know how i do this LOL my days are 12 hours vgames, 4 hours bball food sleep and the ummm uk every now and then hahahah lifes great now BUT i just started my master so it wont be to long before i get a job (maybe)

 

You can scroll with the more expensive sansa's, I have the 4mb clip, and it works well, but the ones with video and even bigger capacity are now around 40 dollars.
