Here's my situation: I listen to music a lot at work and in the car. I have a 30 minute each way commute 4 days a week, plus I'll be doing lots of 7-12 hour road trips now that I've moved away from all my friends and family. My car plays MP3 CD's and has a 6-disc changer, but as you can imagine that music gets stale quickly. I want to be able to quickly drop a bunch of new songs onto an MP3 player and go.
My car has a mini-stereo input to the CD player so I can plug an MP3 player in easily. I don't want to get into Apple/iTunes, so no suggestions there please.
An easy to read display will be important, so I can see what's playing in my car. Capacity should be minimum 8GB, truly preferring 16GB+. I prefer Flash to HDD for obvious reasons, but I'm open.
EDIT A quick look shows nothing in the low-end region with 16GB. I guess this makes sense. Given this player would be a stopgap until I can pick up a Zune HD 32GB, 4-8GB is okay. TY
Doesn't need an FM tuner, video playback, etc. Just good old MP3. Long battery life or capability to be recharged in-car is a major plus.
Cost? Really as low as possible. Hopefully well under $100. I'd love a new Zune HD, but that won't happen this year.
Aren't there some cheap players (Sansa maybe?) that show up refurb'd a lot and can be flashed with a slick open-source firmware that opens up a lot of functionality?
Thanks in advance folks
