I need an MP3 player similar to a Nano

Anyone have any experiences with it?

I bought the Sansa 4GB on an Office Depot deal for $140. I love it, but do have some complains about it. However, most of the stuff I have to complain about is easily fixed with firmware updates. Sandisk kinda rushed these players out a bit too soon, so the current firmware is kinda buggy. Rumor has it though that Sandisk may be sponsoring the development of a Rockbox firmware for the Sansa e200 series. This of course, will remove any complains I ever have about this MP3 player.

i second the Sandisk Sansa 4gb model (e200 series)
i recently got one, and i am in love with it. always loved the nano's styling, but this thing has an excellent UI and has a nice look to it too. sleek. and i like how it feels, doesn't feel like a toy as is the case with the nano. the ipod video has a better feel but has an HDD so no go for jogging.

I really wish I'd jumped on that deal. My rio karma died so I've been looking for something small.

4 GB Sansa for 145 and shipping

I don't know what the shipping is for it, but page has been OK for me in the past.

Get the Mobiblu Cube, it's smaller than my testicles, and THATS SMALL!

Unless the new MobiBlu's have changed the originals were not subscription capable.

Zen Micro would probably be my choice.

And for the doubters, subscription music is awesome. Only problem is the quality... I find all kinds of new music that I like & then I have to go buy the damn CD because the quality sucks.

But at less than $5 a month it's a great way to have a huge library at your fingertips.

PlaysForSure means you can use the music subscription services ie napster, yahoo music, etc

I highly recommend iRiver products. I have an H10 and love it.

Creative' players are way cool. Only ones I'll buy.

www.academicsuperstore.com also is a quality place to order from. They seem to have some good deals on a quite few different mp3 players, but you have to be a student to order.
