I lost my Ipod on my first trip of the season and I've been just not listening to music but I go by myself sometimes and it kindof sucks. 

Whats the best, cheapest mp3 player?  Are there any in the $50-$100 range that will hold like 10 Gigs?

if you just want it for music and possibly some videos:

Yeah I don't even need it to play videos or have a touch screen or anything I just want decent storage space and sound quality and something that won't skip.

Shit I might actually buy that.  Because its cheap jap stuff doesn't mean its going to break or not have something stupid like a hold function or anything does it?

if the touch screen doesnt matter then consider one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-16GB-GO-1-8-TFT-MP3-MP4-Player-Slim-metal-design-EB_W0QQitemZ120359921341QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Players?hash=item120359921341&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

free shipping, you cant go wrong. in terms of breakability, my mom has had a 4gb one for like a year and a half and it hasnt broken, she uses it at least 3 times a week. trust me, its perfect for skiing. and with such a huge storage capacity, you'll have endless playlists.

Creative Zen Mozaic.

My 16 GB cost $150 and it plays .mp3, .wma, and some other formats. It also plays videos, and holds pictures.

You can get a 4GB Sansa Clip for like $60, and they're dope as fuck. Sturdy as hell, I love mine. You can definitely get one that holds more online at Woot! though, it'll just be refurbished or whatever. Check it out, I got a 2GB for 15$ for my dad's X-Mas present so I'm sure you can find something. Here's the link: http://shopping.yahoo.com/?name=woot#woot

Either a Sansa or a shuffle for a simple, cheap player.

Sasa Clip, 40 bucks.

I like the fact that it charges with a standard mini usb port, so you can use various standard cables to sync and charge.
