Wish to buy a Mp3 player for my son (suffering from long term illness)?

Question

I've a son(11yrs old)who has been sick since he was 3yrs old and there is no cure for his illness.He spent most of his time in the hospital.About 4 months ago my son asked me if he could have a Mp3 player cos he likes music alot.I've had managed to save up abt $350 but I really hv no idea how and where can i download songs for him as this will help him kill time inthe hospital.My wife left us and I hv to work to make ends meet.Anyway, can anyone be kind enough to tell me how to get songs into the player from the computer.How should i go about it ..Many thanks to all

Answer 1

I recently bought a "Creative Zen Vision:M" and it works great. It supports many online music stores (Basicaly everything but I_tunes) and transfering music from either a CD or an online store is a breeze. If you need specific help once the player is bought (Only costs 199 from bestbuy.com) let me know and I can walk you through the steps.

Answer 2

At the risk of being redundant, the previous answer seems spot-on. I picked up a Sandisk 2 GB Sansa for well under 150 usd at Office Depot, of all places and have had zero problems with it. It doesn't do video, but I don't honestly want it to. I also would be glad to help with installation/usage help and tips. Good luck.
