Okay boyz,

I need your help. Can you recommend one to me? No more than 50 bucks. I don't care if it is only 1 gig. I need it to come with an armband so I can wear it on my armband. Any thoughts?

Me.

Take a look here:

http://www.danawa.com/product/list.html?defSite=ELEC&cate_c1=197&cate_c2=532&cate_c3=0&cate_c4=0

for a full rundown of MP3 players available in Korea. Choose the one you like and go hunting, or if you can do Korean buy on the net.

Good luck

If you can find it, this:

http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/mobiblu-b153-2gb-black/4505-6490_7-31870947.html

should be pretty cheap in Yongsan by now. The 1gb version was around 80'000 a couple years ago.

And you get an insane 150 hours on one charge.

I got a similar one that uses a AAA battery. It is small but the going thru directories is horrible and stilted. The MP3 OS is sucky for Mobiblue.

God I miss I-River battery type Mp3 players. If anybody has an old one they want to sell tell me.

I'd recommend the Sansa Clip. Great sound for a fairly cheap player!!!

Read the reviews on the Sansa Clip. The sound is excellent. The firmware can be upgraded.

You know the drill.

Just go to your local Home Plus or E-mart and look in the electronics case. They're bound to be there.

That Sansa Clip looks like a great little player!
How do you load music onto it? Best way for me is if you just plug it into a USB, it shows up as a hard drive, then you drag and drop files onto it. Is that it?
Bad way would be if it needs special software to load the files onto the player hard drive.
Worst way would be if it has to "sync" (like Ipod) to one and only one computer.

Thanks,
