Help Pick out Mini Player

Oct 9, 2005 10:20AM PDT

You guys may know me as the person who was thinking about getting a 20 gb mp3 player to replace my ipod mini(couldn't decide). Well as I thought about my situation, I figured that as I grow older, I will definately lose most of the pop culture music that I currently have dominating the space on my ipod(especially since i'm probably gonna have more classical music on it). So I figured I would get a thumb drive-like mp3 player. (Ex. Ipod shuffle, plugs straight into a usb port)Im looking for about 128 - 512 memory, about 50 - 100 dollars, line in recording (pref with line in jack)I saw a coby one, didnt get specs of it, but it was $59. Let me know info about any, willing to take any suggestions, Thanks!

Has all of what you want. At Best Buy for $70. Has a port where you can put flash cards. So say you have music but dont want to put it on your sansa? put it on the card and plug it in and take it out as you please.
