What is a good brand of MP3 Player?

[veronica]

Which is a good, basic, cheap MP3 player? I do not know reputable brands. I do

not need FM radio, Video or Voice recording. I would like it to take regular

batteries and be at least 1 GB. I am looking for the best value per cost, kind of

low end.

I have an RCA CD player. it can not tolerate ANY dust. It plays a sentance twice by the singer on many songs. Eventually it starts

playing it right, after ruining many songs. I keep the Cd's in covers. I do not move the CD player while it is playing.

Thanks in advance.
