Recs for MP3 players?

Because my friends list knows ALL!

What are your recs for inexpensive MP3 players (not an iPod), on which I can listen to podfic? Surely one of you owns a super shiny one that you are very pleased with?

I'm traveling next week to Seattle, ZoMG, and I'm tired of this "no Pod" situation. I don't particularly want to bring my laptop along.


Also, as long as I'm asking, jobs you think I would be good at?


I am feeling the positive energy, yo.
