Ron, I use either a Sansa Clip+ or the newer Clip Zip that are rechargeable and will also play while charging off a wall charger (mini USB for the Clip + and micro USB for Clip Zip); I just use an old Motorola cell phone charger with an adapter to go from mini to micro USB.

What I like about these is in addition to the 2, 4, or 8G internal memory they will take up to a 32G micro SDHC memory card, and that is a lot of MP3's!

The other major advantage (for me) is I can put the memory card in any computer and simply copy or drag 'n drop any MP3's I want without messing with iTunes. Starting around Black Friday these can be found at Amazon and Best Buy at pretty good sale prices, especially for the 4G version.

With 8, 16, and 32G Micro SDHC memory cards selling from $5 to under $20 you can have an assortment of cards dedicated to different formats (OTR, Big Band, Oldies, etc.) and not break the bank. I personally use the 8G versions and put music on the internal memory and OTR on the memory card.
