My Dell DJ 30 finally bit the dust after about 2-3 years. It can still play fine, but the little button / scroll wheel thingy in the front fell off and a contact broke off, and there's no way i can solder it. It's just not fixeable, It's warranty is long gone and i need something with better navigation / sorting capabilities.

Ergo, I humbly turn to you, oh wise masters.

I need something that has :

-- easy navigation / sorting / playlisting
-- good battery life (college student, it has to last all day)
-- at least 8GB storage

-- Not an iPod

-- I'm willing to spend up to 150 - 200, the lower the better.

I'm not afraid of refurbished units, either.

Thanks in advance for all your input.

Bonus points if you link either a retail site or a picture of the player.

Check out your local craigslist.org listings for a zune/cowon x5
You're almost certain to get those around the $150 range, unless you're in a really small town

meizu m6? theres 4 and 8 gb models

i think the 8 gb is in the $150 range

if you have a walgreens by you, dont know where in the country they roam, but you can pick one up there.

If you don't care about sound quality (but you probably do...) check out the ScanDisk Sansa e280--it has 8GB of flash storage, drag/drop ability, ~20hrs battery life. The only downside is some audible pops/crackling during track changes.

trekstor vibez 12gb is completely for you.

The Vibes sounds like a good choice here, I agree with Comen
