New Mp3 player

My old Mp3 player will become a piece of junk soon, so I want to buy a new one.

From the hundreds of mp3 players the one I like is the SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB Video MP3 Player. I have found the Sansa Fuze with a big discount on Overstock.com.

I need a simple but smart mp player and 8Gb are enough for me (my actual mp3 player has 2GB memory).

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB Video MP3 Player features:

• Listen, watch, and play all day with 24 hours of battery life and room for up to 2,000 songs
• Watch your favorite video clips or share your photos on the 1.9-inch color screen
• Digital FM radio with 40 preset stations
• Voice recording with built-in microphone
• Expand your existing 8 GB memory with the microSD/microSDHC slot

24 hours battery life is very good for an mp player.

I think the 8GB will be enough. If not I will use a microSD – I have one I don’t use.
