Please help with super basic questions about Mp3 players


Hi, I've never had an Mp3 player but would like to get one to use during some brisk walking and light jogging in the evenings after work. I'd like to get something that can handle the bumps of jogging and has a large enough screen that it can show artist, album and song tracks, and probably hold about 8 gigs. And of course not too expensive. Also not an apple product. Can you folks suggest some options to look into? Also where to learn how to use the thing, where and how to get music (I don't mind paying a reasonable price for albums and individual songs) and how to load it from I guess a computer to the player. As you can tell I don't know anything, yet...

Thank you for any help learning this stuff!

The phone test this evening worked great, but learning that Mp3s cost more than CDs with shipping was a nasty thing to find out. It's no wonder people pay pirates or whatever when they can get away with it. No wonder at all. 
Thank you people for your replies! I'm beginning to think the best thing would be to just learn how to do it with my current phone, a Samsung Galaxy Express 3. At least that would be a start. 
what price range are you looking at? since it’s for exercising you probably want something tiny? good news is 8gb is easily met today as many players have much more than that. do you want mostly buttons or a touchscreen? 

 I have had a 8 GB Sansa Fuze for years. It has decent sound and it can play Flac files as well as MP3s. You just plug it into your USB port and copy what music you want to it. Mine has an expansion port for an extra 8 GB card. So mine holds 16 GB. It can also play audio books and remembers where it is when you turn it off. They are small light and not very expensive.


Like you, I had never had an MP3 player and decided I wanted one for a few different scenarios. After investigating, I decided to get a small inexpensive smart phone. It solved the desire for the MP3 player and had many more capabilities as well, plus a backup phone, should I need it.
