I’m looking to buy a small, flash-based MP3 player to use while working out, sitting in waiting rooms, etc. I don’t want to spend a lot of money, however (0 would be the absolute limit).
So far, I’ve been looking at the Creative MuVo Micro (either 512MB or 1 Gig), as it seems to have the features I want: small size, FM radio, line-in for recording directly from CDs and records. This unit seems like a great buy on sale for around . However, I know that technology changes overnight and something better might be available at a similar price a few months from now when I have my birthday.
Does anyone know if there are any new MP3 players scheduled to come out in the next few months that might be a better buy than the MuVo Micro? Or are any of the current players (such as the iRivers) going to come down in price during that time?
Thanks for the input!

Use you instinct, buddy! Let me tell ya, prices aren’t going down on MP3 players for a while, since they’re popular items. If you’re TRULY happy with what you see now, then go for it. If not, wait. MP3 players won’t be going anywhere soon! I recommend the Apple MP3 products EXCEPT the iPod shuffle.
Wait as long as you can. MP3 players are like all electronics they get cheaper with time.
That’s a great choice and a great price. I wouldn’t expect the price of anything comparable to come down any further.
You should buy it later because like I the people might come out with a better and cooler thing and you might like that one. Like I bought the ipod nano then they came out with the ipod video.
I think your choice is a pretty good one and fits your needs, if not the ipod shuffle has 512 mb and is 99. but doesn’t have any extras.
do some research. find out the dates on which newer, more improved mp3 players are going to be released. usually, the older models become redunant, thus enabling you to find the cheapest price possible
