Quick help / advice needed!

Okay here is the situation.

The company here I work for are planning on making "gift baskets" to raffle off to help support March of Dimes. They asked us about a week ago for some suggestions. I suggested a Portable music themed basket as one, and they liked the idea.

Anyway they have a small budget per basket, they have already purchased a no-name 1 gig. flash player as the main piece of the basket. When I suggested this themed basket I mentioned that they could also go to a local department store and purchase gift cards for places like Itunes.

Here is my question. Anyone know if you can purchase MP3 encoded files at the Itunes store and copy them over to MP3 players other than Ipods, or other Apple proprietary players?

I want to make sure before someone runs down to the local Target or walmart and buys an Itune card.

iTunes doesn't sell MP3s, they sell DRM protected AAC and some DRM-Free AAC (their iTunes Plus service), unless this no-name flash player plays AAC, they would have to convert. Amazon gift cards would be best if you can do that, since they actually sell MP3s.

Gotcha! Thanks for the reply...Not sure if Amazon cards are sold around here. Might just recommend they buy a prepaid Visa card or something that they could use at Amazon's site then.
