>I have a friend who is looking for an MP3 player for her daughter. What are some options with downloading music? Obviously, Ipod\Itunes but 99 cents a pop can get a little expensive, especially for a young child who's tastes change constantly. Can anybody recommend any subscription-based players or plans?

I have a 2 gig sansa E250 that I don't use any more. I'll have to double check, but I think it also still has a 2 gig micro sd card in it for a total of 4 gigs. If you want it, it's yours. It's not going to get her free music, but it'll play whatever mp3s you do get very nicely. Mostly I just used to rip CDs for it.

Let me know.
