I own the iFP-390T and will likely buy another, larger capacity player. My mom's birthday is just around the corner and we've decided to get her an mp3 player as well!

She goes on walks often.. about 3 hours at a time. Can anyone recommend a nice small, light MP3 player that holds "enough" music and also has a relatively large display or text display?

Thanks!

I got my girlfriend the iriver ifp 190t for Xmas she loves it. She does alot of ice-skating with it and has had no problems at all it holds about 8 hours of music. It was under 200.00.
www.mp3mall.net has a bunch of different options to go with. Hope this helps some.

I guess the iFP-1xx series is also an option... my friend's sister has it.. essentailly lower model iFP-3xx series

Thinkin' Nitrus, but the text isn't that large. For simple display nothing beats the iPod. Pick up an older refurb unit.

I do want to get her a NEW product, not a refurbed one.

Apart from easy display, it would also be important that it is EASY to use. She is not the best when it comes to electronics...

Rio nitrus is very east to use and holds 1.5 gigs.

Too big and heavy.

She doesn't listen to a LOT of music. Small and light...

some generic 256 usb mp3 player then.

there are some nice ones to be had for not so much $$

I think the Nitrus may be the way to go as Blessingx said earlier. Look over at Dap Review for some really good comparisons and pics. Also, check out the Creative Muvo 2. Though I don't see any pics of that one on Austonia's site.

Creative Nomad, cheap, small, easy to read lcd display, and drag-n-drop file transfer... cant get any better for joging

Sounds like an iPod mini would be perfect for your situation.

Try Nomad muvo NX

Ipod mini sounds like an idea. However, a 15gig for $50 more would be a good choice. While it is not as small as the mini, it certainly considered "small".
