SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 8 GB MP3 Player (Black) - Manufacturer Refurbished
I have hundreds of hours of my favorite songs on this and an additional hundreds of hours of audiobooks. Fast forwarding through books is great. It I am listening to a book on my computer then want to take that book on the road, I can fast forward through hours of the book to the correct place on my mp3 in less than a minute. Battery life is great -- 10 hrs. plus. and the entire system is very small, very light, and easy to carry with me 24/7. The only downside is it wont play while recharging.
