One choice is the Iriver T9. It is handy because it has a built in voice recorder. There is no need to buy any companion piece to record. Instead, you can record into the MP3 player right out of the box. It has a g-sensor. That is used to shake through the music. While the creator considers this a good thing, it can get to be annoying. It holds two to four gigs of music and even has a fitness mode that allows you to monitor your calories and exercise. It lacks a video player. Some of the others can play videos. You will have to pay $79. at most locations.

Another excellent MP3 player is the Sandisk Sansa Fuze. It is one of the Sandisk players that is a great choice. Prior MP3 players were good because they were inexpensive and played music, but this one the best yet. It combines all of the things that previous Sandisk's offered, but this one plays video as well. It comes in 4, 8 or 16GB + microSDHC slot, and like the Iriver, you don't need any cords. It comes with everything that you need. It costs only $58.

The interface is a bit tricky however. Should you like simplicity, this is not for you.

The best and largest of these is the Zen MicroPhoto. It doesn't come cheap. It costs $199. for that and with 8GB, it is well worth it.
