a few months ago, the mp3 player i regularly took with me during exercise decided to fail. shortly thereafter, i ended up at a toys ‘r us (presumably to buy something for felicity) and i decided to peruse through their feeble electronics dept.

what i found was this little black looking “thing” that cost a mere $12.99. it promised an mp3 player and radio. well. let me tell you – this is possibly the best little mp3 player i’ve ever used.

it has a radio, mp3 player, voice recorder, stopwatch, usb interface, rechargeable battery which lasts several hours, and a very simple on screen display. not only that, it’s waterproof – which is good because i’ve washed it by accident twice and it’s still chugging away.

now it doesn’t hold a ton of mp3s, but i mainly listen to the radio so that’s not a big deal for me.

i don’t think they make these puppies anymore, but i did quick search and found some businesses selling them.
