Your choice of Sansa is sound.
But I think stay away from the "Prolynks" -- it looks like a pretty standard SigmaTel chipped stick player.
These are characterised by barely readable display, dismally confusing controls and a quick appetite for overpriced AAA batteries. Support is usually non-existent.
Hello everyone I used a Iriver T30 512mb for over about 5 years now and sadly its starting to slowly die.
So I am looking for under $50 player since I don't want a ton of space/features. If I got 1-2GB would be fantastic or a SD expansion works too.
I was looking around for a few days now and these are some ideas I had.
Sansa Express

Sansa e250 2GB

Sansa c240

Issues I have with Sansa is their firmware seems to generate tons of issues and their forums are dead/slow so support looks minimal.
So then I saw this
Prolynkz Zynkz PZX-9988G 8GB Mp3 Player

Seems to be good...they say the LED is faint at best which isn't major...but I never heard of the brand nor can I find their forums to view any issues there might be.
So now I run over to amazon.com since Newegg to my shock has a very crappy selection.
TrekStor i.Beat xtension

Seems to get good reviews...their support forum is also deader then a doornail and they don't seem to show any support for SD card upgrades.
I am just looking for a simple wma/mp3 player to replace my Iriver T30 I want to not give Apple any money so nothing with a I in front of the name.
If it has a AAA battery instead of these lithium batteries it is also a major plus since I do a lot of camping for 1-2 weeks at a time.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
