Interested in any direct purchase link for a mp3 walkman player
Hi Everybody:
I am interested in any direct purchase link for a portable mp3 player which can be worn while walking. It will need to be interfaced with the pc via USB. I assume the unit, at that point, will act like an additional drive with its own unique drive letter assignment. Additionally, I would like for the mp3 player to come with an ear piece for easy listening along with built-in memory storage of between 256MB to 512MB.
Any help on this question will be appreciated.
Thank you.
George

Hi Everyone:
I want to thank each expert for sharing their personal views and resourceful links to mp3 players. And, I agree with the point of the decision to buy an mp3 player is more of a personal one. Taste and preferences in mp3 players obviously vary. Since my expectations of a "good" mp3 player are simple, I decided to go to ebay.com and check out what various sellers had to offer. Upon careful review, I decided to buy the following mp3 player on ebay.com: Brand New 256MB MP3/WMA Player+Pen DR+DVR 256MB for the amount of $31.99 which covered the cost of the item along with the shipping charge.
Not to get off the topic of mp3 players, I do want to take a brief moment and offer a followup update to Gary's question regarding the progress of the ISA NIC card installation. I am happy to report the card has arrived brand new and never opened package. My friend is expected back in town tomorrow afternoon. Upon his arrival, we will be installing this card.
I do not anticipate any technical concerns from installing this new card. However, if concerns should arrise, of course, I will post.
In closing, thanks once again everyone for your help.

Dear George,
I bought an mp3 player just like that on eBay and found out that it only lasted for a short period of time (1 or 2 years). Why this happens, I'm not sure... I have a feeling that the same will happen to you as the manufacturer is less reliable than big companies and doesn't have much support for people who purchase their products. I have been trying to find the new drivers for the mp3 player and there isn't a website in sight that belongs to the product.
I went onto eBay today and searched for the product that you listed here. I realised, in the description provided, that they said the 'Windows 98' drivers are at www.gear123.com and there are non available/needed for 'Windows XP' and above. Then why did my mp3 player suddenly mess up? It was the exact same design but with lower capacity (128MB). To this day, after 3 years of trying, I have found no solution, drivers or updated firmware for my mp3 player.
I'm just warning you about this product and know why it has been broken (if it happens).
Keeping you informed!

What did you decide to buy??
