Thanks for your imput,I just got him the iriver 190T and he's busily loading music onto it now.

I too want one that uses CompactFlash cards.

 

I really really really want an iRiver IHP-120, but at $400 it's a bit out of my range right now.

I can tell you which one not to get. The RCA Lyra. I have the 2209 and it sux.

I have the first generation Lyra. I agree. it sucks bad! It's actually not even a true MP3 player, it converts mp3's to a proprietary format (no drag and drop with a media card reader).

Do CF-based players even exist? I have yet to find one.
