MP3 Suggestions

Dec 4, 2008 3:59AM PST

I am looking for an inexpensive mp3 player (around $50) to get for my mom. She's not the most technically savvy so it needs to be easy to use, but I'm wary of brands I don't know much about. There are plenty out there, but thought I'd ask for suggestions. She has a PC, and probably doesn't need a ton of memory as she'd be using it for walking mostly. It would be nice to have a radio feature too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

some smaller inexpensive brands

Sansa makes good inexpensive models. Sansa Clips come in 1,2,4, and 8gb models. They are said to have excellent sound and file support and are very small w/FM radio. I'm buying one for the gym. Creative also makes some good smaller players.
