at buy.com
E130 $89 - 10 off -35 rebates = $45
E140 $129 - 10 off - 40 rebates = $80
You can still look for the 5 off 25, or the 10% off... One of them expired on the 26th... even without them its still a good deal.

Correction:
I originally wanted to purchase this one :
SanDisk 1GB Silver MP3 - WMA/FM Radio/Voice Rec/Flash Drive - SDMX1-1024-A18
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90141762&loc=0
but once I was ready to check out, it said Availability "On order"... meaning they are out of it.
so I bought
SanDisk Sansa e140 MP3 Player 1GB w/ SD Card Slot - Silver - SDMX2-1024-A18
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90145848&loc=111&sp=1
The names are similar... both 1gb, but the one I purchased in the end is expandable... anyway they are a good deal, look it up.
As far as the question about the FM tuner operation, if you look up the product on pricegrabber.com, go to the reviews and most of the times they are helpful.
