Sansa clip+ with a 32gb SD card is very popular and cheap!

I looked at the Sansa clips, sound quality any good?

Quick tip if you do get one when setting it up choose rest of the world as your region, the max volume if you choose UK is shockingly low, choosing rest of the world you don't get such restriction.
littlegreenman, the other thing with the sansa is it acts just like an external drive - you plug into usb and simply copy all your mp3s and folders across into the music folder.
and there are separate folders for audiobooks (its treats them slightly differently)
i use mp3tag to sort out all the tags and titles etc
+1 more for Sansa Clip+ / Clip Zip and a big capacity Micro SD card. I wore my Clip+ out and currently have an 8GB Clip Zip (very similar, but with a larger colour screen) with a 32GB card.
While you're at it, have a look at the Rockbox firmware (www.rockbox.org) which is an open source sort of operating system for MP3 players. It's relatively simple to install, improves sound quality and functionality at the expense of a voided warranty. FWIW the Sansa firmware works just fine and Rockboxing is a little geeky (so geeky that you get to call installing it on your player "Rockboxing" it), but I think it's better than Sansa's UI.

To be honest, I think I put Rockbox on the Clip Zip before I'd even had a proper look at the Sansa UI. I think it's a little better. One of the cool things about Rockbox is the ability to use different "themes" for the UI that alter things like text font and size, so you can set it up for very large text if you want to.
Battery life is about even on both I reckon- around 8 hours. Again, based on using Rockbox, which I believe is meant to be a little more efficient than stock.

i'm going to look through the different schemes and i'll think i'll give it a go if i can find a nice one with clearer text and track length
Ignoring all the arguments about "high-resolution audio" it's still a good quality, simple player which will support mp3 and can be expanded up to 192GB if you use the largest available SD card.
Which makes it a serious contender to replace the iPod Classic if you have a 30,000-song mp3 library...
I know that's exactly the opposite of what it was intended for! And there's no reason it can't actually be used for both if you want.
I would actually be seriously interested in one if my Classic dies.
