I returned my rca lyra and i have some money for one. I need something with at least 512mb, an fm tuner and something with easy navigation. I was thinking the creative zen nano or micro or something along those lines. I have $150 and I don't want an Ipod

If you're cheap like me, get something from Sandisk. The e140 is 1 GB and only $100.

i like the micro but I can't find one for less than $175. I only have $150 and I've been looking for the past few hours. Is the zen nano any good?

512mb isnt alot of music but that may be wat u want, it looks pretty good, but if you want an mp3 like that i would suggest like a shuffle, good design, good customer service.. also you can get them off apple.com in the refurbished section for pretty cheap

yeah, he likes it a lot. Here is the one he has http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/ultra/700/ifp_795.aspx

512MB is about 120 songs, so you can get enough music on it.

irivers are sick. My h120 has been stepped on multiple times with ski boots, has the cracks to prove it and still works like a charm

erich, get an iriver. exactly what you want, and cheap. plus you can condense your songs to get a lot more on t here. i was able to get about 250 on my 256 last year. now i have a 1 g though and it will be sick.
