Frys is selling the Nomad II FM/MP3 Player for $59.99. They're refurbished. They include a 32MB Memory Card, 0MB Nomad II, cable, but no headphones.

Old technology? Are you talking about hard drive based MP3 players? The only decent hard drive MP3 player is the I-Pod and it's like $400. The others are just too big an clunky. The Nomad II's are nice and small. Still one of the best MP3 players out there.

I got my Nomad II from emusic way back when. I think it's great and I'm still using it.

I popped in a 128MB SmartMedia card and I'm good for 2 hours. Plus, it also has a built in voice recorder. Small, light, long battery life. Considering these things used to go for $250 this sounds like a great deal.

I got one of these new from Fry's 9 months ago and I could never get it to work right - it wouldn't turn on all the time and it would spontaneously reset. I have other devices that use the smartmedia card so that was nice, but I ended up taking the Nomad II back anyway because of the stability problems.

If they're selling refurbs, one of them is probably my old one... :disa:

I hate mp3 players, been burnt one too many times. Mp3/cd is the best bet I think. If only they made cd players with Lithium ion batteries...

I totally agree with you on that - I don't think I'll get another MP3 player any time soon... MP3/CD seems the best.
