Whatever you do, don't buy an I-Pod, not that you can for less than $100, but if you possibly could....don't.

 

[Tabris]

What he said, except exact opposite (well besides the part about not being able to afford it for 100)

 

[Stuggernaut]

Well I guess if you could get one, it would be worth SOMETHING...just not for listening to music. Maybe a doorstop, or a paper weight.

I bought a 128MB BenQ for $100 Canadian ($80 US). It's nothing fancy at all, but it serves its purpose, which is to give me a couple of hours of music to listen to while I'm at the gym.
