What's A Good Alternative To An IPod? Ipods Are Pricey. Can You Recommend Another MP3 Player?

I would say Zune. Zune is a lot like an iPod. It can hold music, videos, games, and more. Zune is just as good as an iPod and you can even transfer music from one Zune to another without any wires or computers. Some even say that a Zune is better than an iPod. www.ubergizmo.com Here is a link to a site selling Zunes for cheap. Hope this helps.

I bought my MP3 player at office max, and it works fine, it cost on sale about $32.00.
Drawbacks are mainly confined to the lack of accessories and the way that the menu options work.  Also, when you delete one song, it messes up storage, so when you load it, be sure to first erase everything and start from scratch.  You will not have problems after that.
