    I would suggest the Sandisk Sansa Clip. It is about the same size as the Shuffle, but it has a nice, bright OLED screen so you can see what you are listening to. It can play music and FM radio, plus it has a built-in voice recorder. You can get it in 4 different capacities, 1, 2, 4, and 8GB for between $35 and $99 depending on the capacity. It also features a built-in belt clip similar to the Shuffle. I have one and I love it.

    I would reccomend a cheap mp3 player because ipods are so popular now good quality mp3s are cheap. you might even be able to get a good quality mp3 player where you can watch videos. Most cheap mp3s are on amazon and online shopping but make sure to read the site reviews and the product reviews. If you are shopping in stores i would reccomend an electronic store (obviously).

    iPod shuffles are junk. You should do more research and look at alternatives. I suggest the Sansa Clip. It cheap, and has by far the best sound quality of all the mp3 players out there.

    Don't get either of them, save up for a nano. Cheap MP3's are really crap and shuffles break really easily, nanos have come down in price, just save up

    cheap mp3 for sure.

    i agree about the ipod shuffle, i'd want

    to be able to choose what song i want to listen

    to instead of have to flip through 249 other songs

    to find the ONE i want to listen to and then do it

    all over again for the next song i wanna hear.
