What I'm looking for is something that is easy of use, inexpensive and 2 hours of storage (64mb) is good enough for me. I only want to listen to it while skiing/rail sessionning. So I found the RCA Lyra rd1021 (69.99$cdn) and wanted to know if it'd be a good choice. Thanks for the help.

Sure. I personally would go for something iRiver. iRiver 390 series maybe...

Whatever you do, get it on ebay. Cheap stuff for sure.

anytime. If I didn't buy an ipod when they first came out, I would definately go for an iRiver mp3 player. Still might, just because I got an ipod with all my music for like long drives, planes, trains, vacations, and that sort of shit... but I'd like something more for skiing, jibbing, and whatnot

the 15 gig rca lyra is only like 120 on ebay , if i were you i would spend a few extra dollars and get something that can hold 20x the music of the 70 dollar one. Aren't irivers more expensive?

i actually have the lyra, and i like it. its good for what you seem to want it for, its nothing special but it works. I use it for when i want music for a short amount of time like an hour of so but you can add cards into the lyra so u can use it for however long u want. but like i said its pretty basic, im getting another player for other stuff. i hope that helps any i jsut woke up so i dunno if that made sense.

oh yeah, i forgot... it does have horrible software though it took me like 6 months to figure out how to put songs on it over the software, i had to place them in the file directly. so yeah that is a big fault
