Need mp3 player recommendations?

I need mp3 player recommendations. Here is my criteria:

1. Under $60-not including the tax.

2. Has to be easy for a technology challenged, elderly woman to use.

I will be taking a look at the nano but would like other suggestions.

Update:

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. I should have mentioned that I need to be able to purchase it from a regular store since I want to have it ready for her on Mother's Day. I will keep the links suggested and search them for future purchases.

Sheldon it needs to be in the price range I stated.

Update 2:

Thanks to all for your answers. I haven't bought it yet. It might be awhile til I buy it.

    Find an mp3 player that uses AA batteries. This is the best since you could listen a lot longer and you don't have to recharge the battery. Nothing is more frustrating than having 739 songs around your neck teasing you with their silence from needing to be recharged for another eight hours. My Panasonic uses AA battery and lasts 80 hours. Most ipods last a fraction of that then needs recharging. I don't like ipods because they are inconvenient, but they do have nice style and are simple for some people. I think every gadget is simple, but that's because I'm a self proclaimed nerd.
