OK, so I want a MP3 player that holds a ton of songs...like 80 gigs? A little less or a little more is cool.

I don't want a bunch of fancy bullshit. The OG ipod is probably my favorite MP3 player ever. I don't want games and movies and wifi and whatever else they try to sneak into MP3 players today.

Honestly, I don't even care about a display. I don't need to know the name of the track I'm listening to, but I guess thats a pretty standard thing.

And...of course...I want it to be cheappppppppp.

Thanks bros.

Define 'cheap'. :|

Most standard MP3 players are still about 8 to 16GB in size. If you want one of the bigger ones, you're pretty much forced to get an iPod classic 6th gen (120 to 160G

. It's pretty decent for it's price (about 250 last I checked).
Archos is another one IIRC, but I haven't heard anything about it except for audiophile forums. ><

Yeah, I was looking to spend around $120 probably. I did find a few used iPods on ebay for my price range (many broken, a few in working condition) and I'm sure if I wanted to stalk auctions I could get one cheaper.

My only qualms with iPods is the battery life. I refuse to go to the goddamn Apple store for them to replace my battery every 6 months like I had to back when I had my iPod mini. I'm not sure if they've fixed things since then, but I soured on the whole iPod brand when I went through about 15 different batteries for the thing.

I generally use my phone, but I hate filling up the SD card with music. I guess I could just save myself some money and get a larger SD card (my phone IS sdhc compatible so I guess thats an option) but I kinda like having a separate music device so I don't kill my phone battery all the time.

I've never had battery problems with my iPod Classic.

Neither have I.
About 2 years old and still goes 7-8 hours with listening non-stop.

Ok cool. Then I'm sold probably, unless someone has another really good suggestion.

I think I'm one of those people that has some kind of natural energy pull because I **** up everythings batteries that I own.
