Newegg has the Centon 2GB MP3 Player for $15 with free shipping. It plugs directly into a USB port for easy file transfer. You can use it as a USB flash drive as well. FYI Newegg deals don't last more than .5 to 1 day.
Last review... Take a break Reviewed By: Master Relaxer on 3/9/2008 Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg Pros: Cheap price and 2GB. Sound quality while not superb is above average (you won't know this with the supplied earbuds). Very easy to use Explorer to add and delete folders & songs. Exporting a playlist of songs from MusicMatch to a folder is totally effortless. Uses 1 AAA battery. Okay equalizer and repeat functions. Easy to toggle songs. 1-yr. warranty. "Yes all of our MP3 Players will play Audio Books." Cons: #1. USB 2.0 FULL-SPEED device -- not Hi-speed! (Check out mfg. product page) The manual states the speed erroneously in 2 places. You'll get 1.5 MB/s max (12mbps) upload to the player. Not bad really - just take a break. #2. Folders - you can easily make them using Explorer, but accessing them in the player is tricky (and ultimately insane). Must be an easier way than mine (see below). #3. Wobbly "Mode" switch on the toggle. #4. The manual is rotten. Not one word about folders! Other Thoughts: So far, I LIKE this player a lot, contrary to the impression given in the cons section. To navigate your folders: Press and hold "mode" button (toggle) to access menu. Toggle to "Setting", quick push (QP) to submenu, toggle to "Repeat Mode" and QP. Toggle to "Dir normal", then QP to confirm. Then press "play" button 2X back to main screen. What this does is to allow you to FF or REW to 001/0xx song in the current folder. Press and hold "mode" button (toggle) to access menu again. Toggle to "Folder" and QP. You are now in the song listing for the current folder at the 001 song. Toggle back one click to the "up arrow" line and QP. You are now in the folder directory. Choose a folder & QP to that folder's song listing. Pick a song and QP. Then QP to confirm the song ("play now") as well as the New Folder. Press "play" button 2X to main screen. Pretty Stupid!

I dont reccomend this mp3 at all! I got one and after about 2-3 months it kept getting stuck in the same folder and wouldnt let me exit out of it. Even shutting it off and turning it back on didnt work. Not worth the money, even if it is only $15!

Well that's what you get for putting your entire Barry Mannilow collection in all those sub folders.
