So my mom just ordered a pontoon boat and the stereo does not have a CD player, just an audio input for a mp3 player. So I need to buy my mom her first MP3 player.

Requirements:
-Inexpensive (preferably $80 or less)
-Large Screen (would be great if she could see the screen without reading glasses so this rules out all the small cheap players the size of a box of matches)
-4-8gb of storage, 4gb will hold almost 100 albums which should be more than enough, 8gb would be probably more than they'll use but could be nice
-Easy to use, the easier to use the better.
-Must support drag n' drop,, I'm sick of using the Microsoft Zune software and Itunes, I don't need yet another BS program just to get music on an MP3 player.


So far I've found the Sony Walkman NWZ-S544 which appears to be an older model but Wally World still sells it for $69 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-Walkman-8GB-MP3-Video-Player-w-Speakers-NWZ-S544-Black/11993292

I hated the linked to sony mp3 player - it's easy to scuff up and the buttons are a chore to use.
I realllly loved my sandisk players, whatever is in your budget (but mine was the cliq, the screen is too small for your needs_

Well the Samsung Galaxy players are about 2.5X the stated budget.

Looks like the new medium sized Sandisk player (Fuze+) gets horrible reviews on Amazon.
