I picked up a 128MB RCA Lyra at Circuit City for $89 and I'm happy with it. It has an SD/MMC slot in addition to it's internal memory that'll let it increase upto whatever you want (Newegg has 256MB cards for $67)

...avoid this one. It stutters on anything with more than a 112kbps bitrate. It seems to be a knockoff of other cheap MP3 players like george.

well the best mp3 players imo are the iriver ones. an ifp-395 would be heaven, but it's definetly not going to be under 100. i also wouldn't get an mp3 player that doesn't have at least 256mb, and no 256mb mp3 players are >100

Depending on the quality of song you download... 128kbps is equal to about 1mb per minute. So a 128mb mp3 player would hold like 128 minutes.

While shopping at Circuit City on Saturday I noticed a 128 Meg MP3 Player made by RIO that was branded with a different name that seemd pretty decent. Rio also has a couple of other 128 megs MP3 players for around a C note including one that acts like a Pen Drive, that is it connects directly to the USB slot without the need for a USB cable.

I just bought a Packard-Bell audiokey for 99 euro
should be less expensive in the USA

128mb and I'm pretty happy with it

I could not imagine that I would buy anything from Packard-Bell but it works really good

its an usb stick you can plug directly into a PC and it shows up as a removable drive
