I decided what I mean by cheap is less then 40 dollars.

Lots of people will probably recommend IPODS to you like the Ipod Shuffle or the Ipod Nano.
I used to Work at Best Buy years ago and I allways hated Ipods.
Ipods have a high return rate, break easily from jarring and shock, and scratch up very easily. Basically you have to invest money into protective sleeves and what not for an ipod.
I also do not like the IPOD's limited options of music choices and the proprietary nature of its technology.
I would recommend you go to Best Buy or Circuit City because they have a wide selection of high grade, lesser known players.
Assuming your 8 year old allready understands the concepts of downloading and transferring songs, I would recommend
the CREATIVE LABS ZEN zen V 2 gigabyte MP3 player. It has very nice looks, a color screen and holds 500 songs. At Circuit City it costs $150
I also recommend the SANDISK Sansa e260 which is a 4 Gigabyte player, holds 1000 songs and has a nice color screen that's easy on the eyes for $199.99 at Circuit City.
SAMSUNG has a couple models at Best Buy and CCity which cost less than $175, have color screens, hold lots of music and also play video.
I definately advise you NOT TO BUY IPOD, unless your son specifically wants it.

The Creative Zen Nano Plus is very cheap for an MP3 player ($55/70) and has a couple extra features. It holds either 512MB/1GB or about 125/250 songs.

You don't need to listen to any of these other answers. Don't get a brand like an ipod. That's what you get for someone who's not a kid anymore and is responsible. Get your child a brand that is not so popular and that won't be such a great loss if damaged...He's just a kid. There are a lot that are great and are not that expensive, you just have to look around and take your time. You'll find one.

I don't know about cheap, but I am getting my 8 year old daughter a PSP for her birthday. Music, games and movies.

An iPod nano 1gb because it holds a good amount of music is cheap, and very easy to use. http://www.apple.com

iPod Shuffle might be a good one. Inexpensive so if he is not careful with it, not a big deal. Only downside is you can't see the songs but my son seems to like his. Holds 100 songs.

it may count number how plenty he likes song, how tech savvy he's and no count if he's as clutzy as maximum babies his age are. reckoning on the solutions particular on your 8 year previous, perchance no participant is a sturdy thought.
