Cheap K-mart MP3 player - Great Lakes 4x4. The largest offroad forum in the Midwest

milje · August 22nd, 2007, 03:06 PM

I was at K-mart today picking up a cable so I can hook up a TV at my sisters house. Anyways, I walked by some MP3 players, was checking them out. Ok, so they had the iPod Shuffle, $80 for 1 gig, and it doesn't even have a screen. Then there's these cheap ones there, like 2 gig for $40. There anything wrong with these? IMO the iPods are just too overpriced and I ain't paying that much for one. Hell there was a 1 gig one for $25. I think the cheaper ones were like Coby brand or something, I never heard of it.

Any better (yet cheapish) ones that you'd recommend?

I like my RCA LYRA.

my SAmsung Nexis (SP?) is cool too.

some of them have really crappy interface software.

Get what you pay for in life. My original 2nd gen ipod is still working to this day.

just paid 49. for a shuffle for my son. Got a 2 gig nano for myself last year for 99. Get them from the refurbed. part of apples store and you can get a good deal.

Just like anything else you pay for a name, my RCA lyra is great as well. I have heard good things about the Sansa too.

I have a Lyra that I bought a few years back, it's small though, 128 or 256 MB.

Then again I guess if I can find it I could always get an SD card to put more songs on, I'm pretty sure it will take one.

I had the lyra and loved it but I bought the Ipod so I could get the Nike+ stuff.

I got a no name 2 gig Ebay 15 dollar special that has been kickin ass for a year or so. Plug it in to the USB port and it sees it as a flash card... drag and drop bitches

SanDisk. Cheap and well-made.

It works with Windows Media Player and doesn't need special software.

Yeah, I have an old Creative Muvo that works great and is small. I also have a Toshiba Gigabeat 40gig that was less than a new iPod, and has a bigger hard drive than my computer. That thing hardly ever runs out of battery life.

milje · August 22nd, 2007, 09:16 PM

I was just looking at the Office Max website, they have some nice lookin MP3 players. I may have to take a look when I go back to college.

If I don't get a new one I'll just get a big SD card for my Lyra.
