I'm looking for something really inexpensive that can store in the neighborhood of around 10 hours or more of tunes.

Oh I mean a Portable MP3 player BTW, I need something for work when all the paperwork is done and I wait for the next truck to be loaded/unloaded.

If anybody knows of a place that's selling them cheap, I would appreciate it if you'd post something...I'm going insane trying to find stuff to do, me and another guy that works in shiping have already been suspended for 3 days for drag racing the forklifts so please help me from doing it again.

Cheapest way is a portable cd player, I just bought my kid one for under $40 at Wally World, and it's MP3 capable.

Then, you just burn some mp3's onto a cd-r, and you're rockin'! 700MB at a time!

It has like 30 sec anti-skip too, so you'll never skip. Only downside is it isn't tiny like solid-state mp3 players.

I have one of those too but I would trade it any day for a USB MP3 Portable Player. Smaller and no cd's involved. Check Future Shop, around boxing day they had quite a few on sale, who know's maybe they'll be having a spiff soon.

I've got a Sony minidisc player you can have for $40 if you wish. It's a MZ-N505 I believe and in great condition.
It is proving more durable than the flash player I just bought. I'm already on my second Sony NW-E75.

Best Buy has iriver 512mb on sale right now for like 149 after rebates.

the Ishuffle's are fairly cheap also, 129 for 512mb and 169 or so for 1 gig.

Sony's competing mp3 players will be out shortly also and they are priced at about 169 for the 1 gb.

Yea, I should have stated I need a USB MP3 player, I can't have anything the size of my portable cd player because it's far to big to be riding around with on a forklift, or walking around the plant.

I saw around x-mas time there was a few pretty cheap ones out there, but they seem to have dissapeared.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open for deals.
