My daughter was getting my son his "old" 2 GB IPod nano, but my husband and I were talking and I wanted one. Nothing fancy so Im inheriting his 2gb and we want to buy my daughter her own mp3 player or nano.

 

In looking at the prices, I figured an MP3 player would be the best bet. Is there a major difference in an Ipod and MP3 player? Not sure on that one. No one else has this particular one in stock and/or around this price.

 

Pink is her color and she would DIE to have this one. (she got a pink DVD player last year and she still shows everyone!

 

Should I buy it now for christmas? Thanks for any help.

I think if she would like it that much I would get it- there arent that many pink ones out there. My parents have one like this and it works good for them

I got my DD9 the sony walkman last year at walmarts secret saturday sales it was only in silver and a 2gig but she loves it and very easy for her to use. I don't even have to charge it alot considering how much she does use it..

Have you seen the new pink sony walkman for only about $20 more with free shipping site to store you could get an 8gig.. I like this one better than the original pink one

Didn't Walmart have a Sony 4gb last year on BF for $49?? I don't think they had pink though. Does anyone else remember?

I think that was circuit city wasnt it?? I know circuit city had one because "Santa" went and got one for my mom and it was red.. :)

UPDATE: I went to TRU today to see the 4gb.

 

Well... They had the 8gb for $69.98! I bought it today. Funny as the 4gbs are $71.98 in the store. Left 2 pink ones. Employee said they had been flying out of the store since the sale on the 8GB. Didn't even know they were on sale. Thank god I thought to go into the store today.

 

My question.. Where would I get songs for this MP3 player? I know Ipods can go to Itunes, but wasn't sure about mP3 players.

the way I load songs for my kids mp3 players is off of cd's, load the cd's onto you computer and then onto the player, you can also buy them all over the internet.

I upload DD9's cd's and her sony walkman sync's right up too wmp.

[elena_398]

Do they sell cases for an MP3 player? TRU didn't have any. Just for ipods. I guess I don't NEED one, but thinking it would be nice. Anywhere I can look?

 

This is for a Sony 8GB MP3 Player.
