I'm looking for an mp3 player on a budget, I need one that can hold at least 128mb of songs... that's really my only requirement. I just want something to have enough space for a good "walking around campus" mix, as the one I have now with 12mb of onboard memory (it was a gift from a friend who just happened to have Aphex Twin on it already, so for the time being it has sufficed). It has no cord to hook it up to the computer so I can't change which songs are on it. What mp3 players would you recommend in the 50-60 dollar ebay range that are half decent?

At the beginning of your post i had a sure fire player for you, but then came upon your price range and it got shot down. for 50 - 60 bucks, i really wouldnt worry so much as to whats the best. i would worry about what you can FIND for that amount.
i was going to tell you to get the phatnoise phatbox its got 128mb or more, and supports ogg, ie better quality less space. but its like 130.
just get an ipod.

I do have a cd burner, but I prefer the smallness of actual mp3 players, cd players dont fit into my pockets very well.

i've mentioned this in another thread but, if you are on a tight budget, a portable cd player that plays mp3's is a good bet. i got one for around $55-60. a panasonic. on 2 AA batteries, it will play maybe 30 hours. you can get about 125 tracks on 1 cd. it doesn't skip. and blank cd's are hella cheap.
of couse it's much bigger than an i-pod, but it's about 20% of the price.

yeah thats what i did when i couldnt afford an ipod. Got myself a nice sony discman mp3 player. It's about the same size as a cd so it fits fine in my jacket pocket and i like being able to use audio cd's for the best sound quality.
