Sandisk 256MB MP3 Player for $39.88
The second MP3 player I bought (the first was a Kodak MC3 — now let’ s never speak of it again) was the iRiver 390T, and I spent a pretty penny for it when it first came out. So you have to understand that spotting another 256MB MP3 flash player for under $40 sure makes me feel like a shmuck. Thanks for nothing, technology depreciation.
Nonetheless, the unimaginatively titled Sandisk 256MB MP3 Player would make a great backup/gym/throwaway music device for all you high-rollers (or low-renters) out there. This player is pretty no-frills when compared to most flash players sold these days (it doesn’t do anything but play music, but since when is that a bad thing?), but its support for WMA DRM is a big plus when getting it to go to the prom with Yahoo, Napster, or MusicMatch.
And it looks so pretty all dressed in red! Oooh, let me take a picture of you adorable kids!
[...] Sorry about the lousy pun. I’ve been starving myself so I can afford to buy presents this holiday and I just about passed out trying to figure out a proper title for this post. This was the best my brain cells could come up with after running on water and packets of Ramen noodles. Either way, iRiver is letting go of a few H10 20GB MP3 Players/Recorders for a Jackson above $200, which is a steal considering that they make the next best (in our opinion) high-capacity MP3 players next to Apple, along with being cheaper to boot. They’ve also got an iRiver T30 1GB MP3 Players in the $130 price range, which is way cheaper than when I got my 256MB player so many moons ago (yeah, this isn’t the first time I’ve complained about this not-so-fresh feeling of getting shafted. I’m just bitter about it, and this is my party so I can cry if I want to!) [...]
