Hehe... $65 doesn't leave you a lot of room there.

I'm using a Creative Zen Stone 2GB and it ran me around $40. It's as small as... well, a stone, has a decent interface, and if you're a person that doesn't care to keep an eye on the display and just listen to music on shuffle, I think you'll be happy with it. (It has a case available to it that allows you to hang it with your keychain, which I think is great.) It's got slight problems, like the fact that you will have no folder organization available to you, but for around $40, it's quite a steal.

You can also get the iPod Shuffle for about the same price, but I have no experience with Apple products. Not a big fan of Apple, really... but if you want to be part of the trend, I can imagine that it might be the same deal as Creative's Zen Stone line.

Sandisk's Sansa e250 looks like a good deal too, if you want the actual iPod look but not pay for Apple's name. No experience with them either, but apparently it gets good reviews.

Also, look into a good pair of headphones or earbuds, as the MP3 player you will choose won't make a difference in sound quality if you have crappy output. I HIGHLY recommend earbuds from V-Moda, as I own a pair of V-Moda Bass Freq earbuds and they ROCK. Best $40 I spent on earbuds... and now they're available for $30 on Amazon. Trust me on that one.

I have a black Zen Stone 1 GB, and I am satisfied with it. I am not one of those who want to know all details about a song, so it is perfect for me. Quite cheap, but I actually paid 300NOK for it. Currently 1 USD = 5,08 NOK, so that equals 59,06$. More than rayzoredge paid for his with 2 GB...

Well anyway I like it. Simple and easy. Sometimes simple is the best way to go.

Well for your budget I'd suggest the above. I have a 80bg Ipod which imo is the only decent thing to come out of apple!

I suggest you to wait for the Iriver Volcano T7

2GB : 35 euros (approx... 35 dollars thanks to the bad prices we have here in europe :/)
4GB : 50 euros
