I want to spend no more than about 175$. I've seen the Rio 800, etc going for below that price. What do you guys think? What should I get? I want 128meg+ (unless it's Clik Disks or something)

I think this one as well as the treo 10 look pretty good for what they cost. I haven't used one though so my opinion probably dosen't count for much.

Every time I see reviews of the tiny (both in size and storage) players, nothing has really ever bested the Rio 500, including Sonic Blue's attempts after it. It works well, battery life is awesome, and it uses standard Smart Media for memory, so expansion is also cheep and easy.

Avoid anything without a standard memory interface, and keep in mind Compact Flash and Smart Media will be cheeper since it's been around longer, and isn't as hard to make.
