Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through

Man this sucks. I just started looking for a cheap Mp3 player because I want to listen to some class recordings in the car. From the look of things there's nothing cheap that doesn't have huge interface/organizational issues, which would make it hard to organize class files. I would almost take a chance on something really cheap on Amazon, but all of the random no name players have 4 star + reviews by people who got a free player "in exchange for an honest review." Yeah right.

Any suggestions that don't involve a phone or Apple?

What's wrong with Apple? Just buy an used shuffle or nano on Craigslist; you won't find anything better for something approaching the price.

Because they don't want to carry around two phone-sized devices?

which would be a fine excuse if we were talking about something that is literally as big as a phone. Personally I don't see why people just don't get a frigging iPod Nano if you want a standalone. Good quality, super small and light, etc. Granted, it doesn't have an SD card slot, but I guess some people feel the need to carry around their entire music collections on a trip, or whatever.

The singular downside is iTunes, but given how easy it is to just create and sync playlists, and how rarely you need to use it, I don't think it's too much of a hassle.

This is it for me. itunes is loving awful.

Lol it's annoying but if you just need to transfer music it's not that bad. Nerds like to act like iTunes kills their puppies or some poo poo. Primadonnas.
