Recs for MP3 player for 8 yo - under $60?

[Elmo888]

I want something easy to use and inexpensive enough that if it is lost, she can replace it (with her money!)...any recs? I've been looking at Sansa.

Both of my kids have the Sansa and love it. In fact Hubby and I each have one also. Easy for the kids to use. Very inexpensive. We've been pleased with ours.

I got a 1 gig player at TRU last night for $14. I can't look it up right now (but it's pink) because there is a 9 y/o recipient in the room and she'll sure as heck spot the TRU page. She wanted an ipod and if she takes care of this one and doesn't lose it I may get her an ipod for her birthday in May. TRU had several that weren't too expensive.

The new iPod shuffles are relatively inexpensive. Their under 60$ at most stores. They are easy to use, last a long time, but are extremely small, so if your daughter loses small things, it may not be a good suggestion.

Yes, I think that she would lose something so small (she might lose it if it is big!).

I'll check the Sansas and look at TRU.

Thanks!

This is the one we bought:

At least at that price I won't cry if she loses it.

That's the one my 6 yr old has. Works great for a year now!

My daughter has a Samsung one that was under $50 on sale at Best Buy. It is easy to operate and to charge - she likes it because there is a screen that shows her what song is playing. She had a mix stix before and she hated that she couldn't see what song was where.
