Ok , i don't know much about MP3 players and such but i was looking through amazon.com earlier and found this one: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Sansa-m250-Player-Black/dp/B000BP8AY2/ref=sr_1_10?s=mp3&ie=UTF8&qid=1297186895&sr=1-10 from $149.99 down to $28.95 and it qualifies for free shipping. that looks like a great deal to me.
for $6.05 more you can get this. it's a Chinese generic but I got one for Christmas and I use it once a day and take care of it. It has lasted me since I got it (FINGERS CROSSED) http://www.bestofferbuy.com/mp4-player-28-lcd-with-touch-screen-4gb-p-984.html
^ also it ships from china. Thats sad when it's cheaper, shipping and all, then an American Union Made MP3 player.
No it's not. I though you can only get referral links only if you have business type amazon account or affiliate program ? I don't have either.
hard to say. they seem to come up with referral links for everything these days! just thought i should ask.
