Hey all, I was looking into purchasing an MP3 player to listen to around campus / at the gym. I probably only need 1-2 GB. I want to keep this in the $50-$80 range. Anyone have any decent ideas that I could look into? I was looking at the Creative Zen V Plus. What other options are there/do you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Try the SanDisk Sansa e250 2 Gb costing 99 dollars. My Friend has it and he is really pleased. It doesnt just play audio and radio but also can play videos. With 2 gigs i dout u can get music and videos though. I would save for a 30 or 80 gig Ipod. I got a 30 and very pleased. '

There's also a 1 gig SanDisk Sansa for 70 dollars.

I own a 2GB Creative zen v plus. I have no complaints. It has good audio quality. Can play videos, stores pictures and has an fm radio. And it looks pretty cool too. I own the black one.

They're about the same quality as the iPod or Zune, and better than most others. It's intelligently designed, and very easy to use. It's not exactly as aesthetically pleasing as the iPod, but, then again, most people's bad experiences with iPods are because of the bad design.

Check out the Sony NW series. I have a NW407 1GB It's cheap (>100 USD) Batteries run for 50 hours. It looks really cool.

If the batteries are low you can recharge it for 3 minutes and get 3 hours playtime. I've had mine for about 2 years and I still love it. 

Here's a pic

IMO iPod Shuffles are way too overpriced.. and no screen on top of that. If I were to go the route I would get the new Creative Zen Stone for $39.99.
