Looking for a cheap 8GB MP3 player that's stable...

[DaDude]

My Ipod is suddenly starting to freeze quite frequently. Yesterday it froze twice when listening to it on the subway. The first time it froze, I reset it and it played again. Then later during the day, it froze again when trying to load a song. I reset it and went back to normal. So far today, it hasn?t froze yet, but the fact that it froze twice yesterday concerns me. I think I may have to start looking for a new MP3 player. I only have 6 GB of music, so an 8GB MP3 player will do. I only need a basic MP3 player without all those bells and whistles. I just need a simple MP3 player that holds at least 8GB of music and can play the music without any issues. I just want something barebones.

Can anyone recommend a good player? How about this??

Your best bet, unfortunately, would be to get a new iPod.

These players may appeal you initially, but I haven't heard a good thing about them.

Galaxy Players? Not so recommended

What about a used Zune?

The Sansa Clip+ is a GREAT little MP3 player. Starts quickly, has plenty of features as well as a MicroSD slot, but most importantly is a great sounding music player.

They have some new model called the Clip Zip, but I don't have any experience with it. You can probably find a Clip+ for very little at any store now that they're an older model.

I've used a Coby similar to that one and the UI was a nightmare. I can't recommend it.

Definitely enough reviews there to base an opinion on!

Not to bad a price either :)

I agree with the Sansa Clip, got mine off Amazon and its been great

Too late to be the first to recommend the great Sansa Clip+ I see :(

edit: But not too late to recommend to install http://www.rockbox.org/ on it when you'll get it!

Current gen ipod nano for $99.00 from apple. I bought refurbished and I highly recommend it. All manuals, new ear buds, and 1 year warenty are included. Hurry it's only for a limited time....

Another vote for the Sansa Clip+. It's perfect for running or commutes since it's tiny and clips on to anything. Plus it's super cheap.

Pay 100 bucks for THAT? That's just crazy.

Zune HD 16gb. It will be the best music player you will ever buy. It's fairly cheap as well.

Believe as others have mentioned the SansaClip is getting great reviews and well priced :)

Look for Zune, before anything else

Sansa fuze (original) with rockbox. rockbox makes that player so much better. it gives yah a proper EQ, better format support, and better playlist management.

Looks like the SansaClip is the way to go. Thanks guys! :)

Avoid the Zune. My Zune 80 GB bricked - stupid firmware error (like dozens of other people's Zune) and MS won't replace it even when it was in warranty. :( :cry:

Sansa clip is a good device, I have had a few. However, I had one where the power button broke (bought for niece since she was young and didnt want to get her an iPod until I knew she would take care of it). A small as plastic piece broke off on the inside and the damn thing wouldnt turn on. And of course, my sister tossed all the packaging in the garbage and the receipt. So I had to buy her a new one.
