...hmm, as a newbie , whoever is going to help you download/purchase MP3's, go to that person and ask which brand you should go for. It'd be easier in the end for you to have your muzak ready for your trip.AnastasiaStripper said:
IMO most brands are fine: Apple, Archos ,Creative, Sony, Sansa, Samsung.
Get something at least 4 GB, and not too expensive. Because you will grow out of it very QUICK and move onto something better, probably with a bigger screen.
There is this one at Best Buy. Very good price for an 8 GB player.
Archos
8 GB flash
Expandable via microSD
FM
built in mic for recording
