OT - Need an MP3 player with FM radio

Looking for an MP3 player with FM radio capability that can be worn with an armband while exercising. Looking for good sound quality and screen display. Apple Ipod Nano does not have FM radio. Want to spend less than $200, preferably below $150. Any of you have experience with one that you love? And info on best place to buy?

Thanks

I recently purchased RCA Mp3 players for my kids, I was really impressed with the sound and quality for the price. They didn't have an FM player, but I have some friends that have an RCA with FM player. Amazingly, I got them on Overstock.com. They were $27...with low built in memory, but adjustable with added memory card. Memory cards are pretty cheap now. Everywhere else they were $80-100. Been so impressed with the cheap one, I think the only reason to spend more $$$ is for the name, added internal memory, and possibly song organization capability.

I liked the fact that they are durable, sports mp3's, with arm band. I have been pleased with the RCA brand. (My kids haven't destroyed them yet) Overstock hasn't had any RCA, that I could find. I liked them so much, I have been wanting to get one myself.

Incredibly easy to use. USB plug in, drag & drop songs!

Wish I could give you a link, but have been looking for them myself. If you find some, let me know.

I just bought one for $130 on Amazon.com, comes with 4Gig of memory, screen for viewing videos, and has an instruction booklet/cd for assistance in setting it up with your computer. I forget the name of it, but am expecting it in the mail in a couple of days and will gladly update you on whether or not it is acceptable. I was NOT paying $250 for the same thing that someone has called an iPod. I think they are ok, but not worth all the hubbub. Thoughts??
