Having looked through different brands (sandisk and Apple mainly) I've found that I can't make a decision on what a good MP3 player is for the amount of money spent. I would like one that has an FM tuner in it but that isn't necessary. I need something that has at least 2gb of storage and preferably for under $110 or so.

Anybody have some suggestions? I've been looking at the iPod Nano but I really can't justify spending $150+ on one when it's technically a flash drive with a screen on it.

If your looking for strictly music I recommend the Sandisk C150 or C250. Both are 2 gig have the radio tuner and are under $120.

Yeah the 250 was what I was looking at. But I'll wait for some other input before making a decision.

Well Fine then. hahaha

I prefer Sandisk to Apple mainly because with apple you have to have iTunes.

I have the sansa "somenumber" and its ony a 1gb and it works just fine for what I use it for and its very user friendly and I have had no issues with it.

Well I'm gonna get either a c250 or an e250. Same storage but I'm leaning towards the e250 because it's newer and would probably have any bugs worked out.

And wow I got a great deal today. Sansa e250R 4GB for....$114 plus tax. Best Buy had it marked off for this weeks sale down to $130 and I had a reward zone certificate for 12% off all audio.

Wow is thing wonderful. Put my good headphones into it and it sound better than playing off of my computer. And no ITUNES!

Thanks for the thumbs up on the Sansa guys.

I don't know about that Sansa, but my Sansa e140 is a 1GB with an SD card slot. It runs on one AAA, so I don't have to worry about a funky internal rechargable battery crapping out on me and having to track down a replacement somewhere. I won't upgrade to a newer model for a while since I just got mine a few months ago (it was about $70 after shipping), but I like what I see with SanDisk's models. Screw Apple...
