best non Apple MP3 player for under $50 (pref. $40)

[AnnieW625]

My sister turned 24 two weeks ago and I haven't gotten her a birthday present yet and the other day she mentioned to me that she hasn't been on a run recently because her MP3 player isn't working so I thought maybe I should get her a new one. So what brand do you recommend?

I know NOTHING about MP3 players, I have an Ipod Classic.

DH loves his Sansa clip. There's different price points depending on how much storage you want.

I'll second the Sansa Clip. We have two of them in our house and they are great. Small, simple, and (relatively) cheap.
