cheap mp3 player?

Was wondering if someone has or can recommend a cheap MP3 player that sounds decent, with decent features. But really as long as it works and doesnt sound like total crap I dont care. I dont know what to look for and dont have a lot of money to blow. A friend of mine bought a Pyle cd player for like $50, and it sounded better than some of the higher quality units I heard in other peoples cars. Theres a mp3 player PLCD45MP, its cheap, is it good? Also there is a pyramid, dont have the #, i think its on eBay. Anyone help recommend one for me?

Speaker wise im set, I have kenwood 12" subs, 600w kenwood amp, and 4way kenwood 6'9. What would be decent?

I put a $140 Jensen in my wife's MX6, and it's awesome. Granted it's a Jensen, so it's not blowing any windows, but it serves it's purpose. It was THE best $140 I ever spent on a CD player. Actually I only wanted to spend that much on a CD player, the MP3 part was just a perk, and a GREAT one at that.

I took ONLY the songs I like off of ~35 cds and put them on ONE CD-RW. It's cool cause it gets the clutter out of the car.

It sounds pretty gosh darn good to.

They were having a 15% discount sale at the time.

I think I have some coupons so a "friend" can save $20 if they mention my name.

Let me go look for them and I'll let ya know through a Private Message.

Two words...Rockford Fosgate. You can get a brand new RFX-9000 at Best Buy for $200, or you can get one on Ebay for around $160. I know RF isn't as well known for head units, but take my word for it, this stereo rocks. It has two sets of RCAs and MP3s load up super fast. I've never been disappointed with mine.
