SanDisk Sansa e130 (512 MB) MP3 Player

I bought this because it has 512MB of storage with a slot to add more via memory cards. You can get 512MB SD memory cards on sale lately for pretty cheap. So basically, this can become a 1GB+ player for FRACTION of the price of higher priced players.

This is really small. It would easily fit inside a pack of smokes with room to spare. It's lightweight. It weighs almost nothing and is great if you want to put it in your shirt pocket.

Good headphones. They fit inside your ear to eliminate external noises. They also produce pretty good bass for this style. You can definately hurt your ears if you crank it up.

BRIGHT lcd screen. Bright enough to light a room.

WHAT I LIKE BEST --> Drag-n-drop file loading. In Windows it looks just like a USB drive. You add MP3s to it by just dragging and dropping from within Windows. Or, you can rip CDs directly to the device. I even use it for storing regular files like Word documents etc. Pretty sweet.

Good battery life. With battery saver options on, the SINGLE AAA battery lasts for many hours. Buy good alkaline batteries. Cheapo batteries don't last as long.

All in all, one of the top Mp3 players for the price. Sure, you COULD get one with same capacity for less, but it would be from a lame company you never heard of.
