Hi, I've never had an Mp3 player but would like to get one to use during some brisk walking and light jogging in the evenings after work. I'd like to get something that can handle the bumps of jogging and has a large enough screen that it can show artist, album and song tracks, and probably hold about 8 gigs. And of course not too expensive. Also not an apple product. Can you folks suggest some options to look into? Also where to learn how to use the thing, where and how to get music (I don't mind paying a reasonable price for albums and individual songs) and how to load it from I guess a computer to the player. As you can tell I don't know anything, yet...

Thank you for any help learning this stuff!
David

As you can see, all big names no longer manufacture MP3 players - this market has been overtaken by smart phones. Couple of years ago, SanDisk made some good all-day players, you might want to check some auction sites for stalled inventory.

As for "Where to get tunes from": There are plenty of ways to do that. You want to get music free of DRM, so you can copy it over to your player. Most streaming services also allow for you to download indidual songs for offline use.

But - if you have music CDs you like, ripping them off to MP3 is quite straight-forward process.

I'm going to try doing it with the phone and the test I did a few minutes ago seems like that could be a very good approach. But Mp3s seem to be more expensive than CDs including shipping which I had not expected so now it's a whole new way of trying to think about this.
