I don't have it, but I wanted it. It is not a sport player, but i has some pretty nice features. It is 1,536 MB of space (1.5 gig) which is a little more than you wanted, and it is a hard disk player, not a flash. Try it out. It comes in a smooth black which is also a nice feature.
If you don't like that, you could go for a 64MB RCA Lyra and boost it with a 512MB SD or MMC card. Lyras are sport players (I have one), have flash memory, come with a program function (create your own playlists), and display the song title. When I bought mine at Wal-Mart, it came with their famous clip-on headphones (best available), an AAA battery (only requires one), and a wristband. Be careful though; the battery holder can break easily, which is why I got a new player that is also a digital camera, camcorder, voice recorder, and webcam (Aiptek DV4500).
i am looking for a 512mb or 1gb flash player that works well and has good sound quality. i am pretty much looking for the cheapest player that sounds good and works.
can someone please recommend me a player because i am lost with all of the choices that are out there.
