5 gb (about) mp3 player on the cheap

[uncbaseballfreak]

I like the ipod minis but 250 is too rich for my blood.
Anyone seen a first or second gen. 5 gb ipod for cheap.

Anyway doesnt need to be an ipod but thats my #1 pick.

All help is appreciated

Is the Creative Zen Xtra any good? That is a damn good price for a 30gb player. Also, i'm not at all familiar with mp3 players, does it have am/fm radio?

Basket I'm thinking the same thing, looks really good. Seems people on newegg like it a lot too...

I think this is also a good deal, despite the fact that it's refurbished:

I'm 99.9% sure the Zen Xtra doesn't have a radio, and that there's only 2 or 3 mp3 players that actually have an am tuner.

I have never heard of that RCA one before, but it seems decent.

[basketkase543]

Does the ipod have an fm tuner?

[whitereflection]

No. FM tuners on mp3 players are only decent at best, and you'll have better luck finding them on flash players.

Thanks for the info. An fm tuner isn't that important since i have another small radio i can use when i listen to Kevin and Bean on KROQ.

You can pick up the RCA Lyra at the Amazon marketplace for $179.00 refurbed. RCA Lyra-Amazon Marketplace (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009QSET/002-8032734-6433619)

Creative's MP3 players have very good sound reproduction. I've got a Muvo2 and I think it's great (even though I'm not much of a HD based MP3 guy). Can't go wrong with a Zen. Never tried the RCA so I can't comment on that.

While I like the radio, I don't find myself listening to it much (on my iRiver) at all. To each his own though.

[uncbaseballfreak]

Thanks for all the suggestions. So far I'm likein the $150 Muvo since that is more in my price range and I am only using about 3.5 GB on my current 20 GB player but that 40 GB RCA looks damn tempting. Especially tempting considering its $180 price tag. (still very pheasible)

I dont think that youll need an AM/FM radio if you have 30GB to store music on, unless you just dont go to bed for like 3 days at least.
