Default MP3 Players

Ok so Im going on a trip and I have limited funds. Im looking into getting a small mp3 player. Maybe 256mb version at the most, maybe smaller. I dont really have much money to spend otherwise I would get an Ipod. What do ya'll suggest? I dont really know which are good brands and which brands to stay away from.

Edit: I was thinking about this model any thoughts?

I have that exact Creative mp3 player and I love it it's so small and simple. Plus it runs on one AAA batery so the battery cost is really low since one battery last about 14-16 hours with sony in the ear headphones. I would highly recommend this product. I have had one of these for about 10 months.

I would check out the newer Creative MuVo2's. They have a built in Compact Flash, and they have 512MB's and up. Really good reviews, removable battery, and great sound quality. The 4GB version is only 200, so if you have the money, I would get those.

If you don't need solid state then get this one, it is unbelievably small and still holds 1.5GB.

I personally have this one. It's a little larger than a pack of matches, and has an expandable mem slot so you can buy a 512mb sdd card for a total of 640mb, and on top of that it plays MP3Pro (192kb SQ in a 128kb file).

The only bad is that there is no radio and the headphones suck so make sure you get a pair of koss "the plug" (the plug has rediculous bass - I love em) or koss sporta pros or koss ksc-50's (these last two have the best bass drivers for open ear phones - still not enough for me though). You'll also need a rechargable battery setup for these as they suck down juice.

yeh i would go with your original choice - 256 mb is enough to hold 2 CD's worth of music, and they would be your own chosen tracks, so you shudnt get too bored of them. The creative one also doubles as a USB pendrive, so certainly helps if documents need to be transfered quickly.
