I saw online at walmart that the Zen brand has a few 512mb for like 55 dollars any one know this brand? I do not need more than 512 as I hardly have that many songs I can or want to put on it. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

You can usually find a good quality one, even an expandable one, for a pretty good price. Look for one that is meant for sports; you may not want a top line model, but you want one that will work for more than work out. And stay away from ipods - yuck... -------------- Michael Powerlifters - We eat raw meat, and sleep naked in the snow...

Then, after you find the one you want go to ebay, you can save a lot of money there, at least look what's out there before you buy from a store.......PS: I love everything about my ipod mini. :big_smile: -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy

MannyMaster Posts: 515 Joined: 2006/02/01	2006/05/24, 01:33 PM Well, sometimes you need to wait a little for the perfect deal to come along. We never buy anything from overseas, only from the states and only through paypal, that way you don't lose your money if there are any problems. You just have to do some research on the sellers, read the coments from other buyers, but if you're not comfortable I understand. I hope you'll find what you're looking for:) -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy
kjhalter Posts: 8 Joined: 2005/11/10	2006/05/24, 10:58 PM I just bought mine last month at Target for right around $50. It holds 60 songs. The only problem so far is I go through 1 battery a week. But all in all it works for me.

Get one that looks pretty durable, if you are like me it will take a beating, and one that has a charger. Or I guess you could buy rechargeable batteries because they do tend to burn through those AAAs pretty quickly.

The company is well known for it's Flash memory cards used in Cameras, and they're MP3's (at least the 1 gig) has a expansion slot for a Flash card so you can get up to 2 gigs. Only thing is I did have an issue with mine and it wouldn't start up on me once and I emailed their tech support and they emailed me back with a day and told me how to get it to work. Otherwise it's served me well in the gym for 6 months and I've had up to 300 songs on there and you can sort them into different folders by name or genre...very user friendly as well.

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/05, 03:19 PM Mutt, It looks to be the same mp3 player at the same price - if walmart gives more accessories, I would go with that.

This morning at the 24 hr fitness I go to on my way to work they were playing "Guns-N-Roses, Sweet Child of mine"...but with a twist...it was redone in dance music, sung by a female.
