Searching for MP3 Player with FM and at least 256mb for under $75. Recommendations?

[ricwhite]

I need an mp3 player with FM and at least 256mb of memory for $75 or under. I have looked around but would like to get some recommendations from those in the know on this forum. Any recommendations? I have a gift certificate to Amazon.com so I looked there and have narrowed down to these two Any other help would be apprecated.

MSI has a couple of players that may fit your needs. I have the megaplayer 256MB and its pretty darn good.

Dont know about the units you linked.

Omisys makes what you're looking for. I bought the model without FM about a year ago when it was posted in the Hot Deals forum. It was a Omisys MP-334 USB 2.0 512MB for $64.99 plus shipping. At that time DealSonic had them. You may have to search a little bit to find a supplier for the OmiSys hardware.

The only issue I've had with the unit has been the headphone jack. It's not the most rugged design. But all you'll need to do is resolder the jack in place and reinforce it with a little epoxy.
