<div class="IPBDescription">That doesn't cost a fortune</div> Was thinking of investing in one cos my cd player costs a fortune in batteries and I can't use it when I go running.

Also I'm not prepared to fork out for a stupid ipod that has way more space than I need. Something with maybe 256mb top whack or less would be ideal and small as well so it can clip onto my shirt as I'm running.

    I think the Creative MuVo series is great for such short term things. It's a USB Stick which plays MP3's and can also be used as a normal USB Stick.

    Wow, so the USB stick doubles as a normal one for carrying every day data, too?

    That's pretty sick for $85, and cheaper from NewEgg. Gotta look into this thing.

    Sonic Rio 256Mb

    Upgradeable flash memory if you need it.

    1 AAA battery lasts me about a week, for two/four listening hours per day.

    It also has a stopwatch!

    Am I THE last person in North America with a cassette player?

    Let's form a "North American Old-Style Cassete Player Possessors Union"!
    Or something.

    All I can say is don't skimp yourself on space. My first mp3 player had 2 50-meg mini-zip discs... and it sucked. Maybe the equivalent of two CDs.

    Of course, I now use my iRiver h120, which cost me $250, though from what I've heard the smaller-capacity iRiver products are quite good.

    I like mini disc players most, a nice mix of old school cassettes and new digital technology.
    Though they are not so good while doing sports.
