Easiest Mp3 player...

by queenraine Dec 2, 2005 11:13AM PST

I am looking into getting an mp3 player for my 11 yr old son and ive been doing alot of research BUT am still at a loss as to which one to get...i've looked at the creative line--alot of good reviews BUT some BAD, (and then again WHICH creative player?)...then i've seen a few others...samsung, iriver---i definitely don't want an ipod of any type.
I've read so many things that i can't remember which goes with which player anymore. I really wanna keep the price range at about $100 or less. And easy for an 11 yr old.
So go ahead give your opinions and gimme GOOD advice.
THANKS

This is a nice reasonably priced Mp3 player.
It has a FM Radio, Voice Recorder, and 1 GB of space for your mp3 files.
I myself heve this one.
The sound quality is good and the battery life is good.
An all round good player.
