That certainly is understandable. If you can find a Creative Labs Nuvo I think there is a chance that you can get one for $100 or less, and they are fairly accessible. There may be others, but I will admit to not knowing about the newest MP3 players in the less expensive market just because I haven't had the reason to look at them lately. Maybe I need to shop around a little and see what is available. The olympus WS320M that I mentioned is also available as WS300M with 256 megabytes of memory for around $150 and it plays both MP3 and WMA, it records in WMA.
