Getting a good deal on an mp3 player.
Is your kid or teen begging you for an mp3 player, and they want the one everyone else has?
Well if spending that kind of money is out of the question for you like it is for me, (heck, I couldn't even spend that kind of money on an mp3 player for myself!) you can still get the kid a really great mp3 player that won't break the budget.
Buy.com has awesome weekly deals on all kinds of great products, and they have a really good price right now on a SanDisk Sansa clip 2gb mp3 player in black.
I myself have a SanDisk Sansa clip 1gb mp3 player, and I love it!
The one pictured above is identical to the one I have, except that it's the 2gb pictured.
You can't tell the difference in physical appearance, but inside is where it counts.
The SanDisk can hold so many music files, and the quality of playback is exceptional.
The earbud headphones are very comfortable to use, not hard like some others I've had.
Not only is the Sandisk Sansa clip an mp3 player, it also has an FM radio tuner with 40 preset channels, but you can easily do a scan search to find your favorite local radio stations.
It also has a microphone for recording yourself notes to playback later.
I've actually used mine to record my grocery list and play it back while grocery shopping.
That way I never forget anything, and because I can listen to the playback in my earbuds, no one knows what I'm listening to, they think I'm jamming out to music in the store.
It's not like one of those pocket recorders that plays it back at full deaf person volume for everyone to hear like in those commercials.
The battery is internal, never needs to be changed, and it charges by hooking it up to your pc through the usb cord that comes with it.
It has 15 continuous hours of playback too.
It holds the charge for a really long time.
I keep mine on my nightstand and listen to it every night before falling asleep, and I only have to recharge it once a week.
It needs Windows XP or Vista to work on your pc, and comes with everything you need to make it work, the manual, usb cord, the earbuds, and installation cd, which I actually didn't install.
I just plugged mine into my XP pc, and Windows just knew what to do.
It's super easy to copy your mp3 files over to your Sandisk mp3 player too.
It's as easy as plugging it in to the usb cord, wait for the window to pop up, and then go into your music folder to find your files.
Once you have a file you want to add, just click on copy this file.
Windows asks you where you want to copy the file to, so you just browse the list and find the Sandisk mp3 player, it's music folder, and click ok.
Bam! Super easy!
So anyway, if your kid is begging for an mp3 player for their upcoming birthday or just because, and you don't want to or can't spend a crazy amount of money on one, go check out Buy.com and look through the weekly deals or click the direct link I gave you.
This is an awesome little mp3 player.
It may be super small in size, (slightly larger than a golf ball in height) but it boasts super big sound and features.
I love mine and everyone asks me about it, and when I tell them, they can't believe it costs so little yet sounds so good.

That is sweet! My sons had to have name-brands, so they saved up and got their own expensive music players. I just have a 3 year old lyra which has been more than sufficient. I think I will upgrade soon, because I could get such a nice one (in other words, one that holds more music, and with a much more visible/easy-to-read screen) for the same amount I paid for my old one.
First I am going to see how my new music-player cell phone works for that, though. I wasn't going to get a music player cell phone, but it's time for us to upgrade, and this one is free.
Since you recommend the Sansa, I will definitely check it out if I see that the mp3 player cell phone is going to be too much trouble.
