    $50? Might as well get one of these for $99 :)

    And you can take it back if it breaks.

    There are quite a few do it yourself MP3 players around. A particularly nice series of players can be found at the YAMPP (Yet Another MP3 Player) site. The site includes both hard drive and flash based players, and even a colour screen version. They have a web shop that sells PC boards, kits, and components.

    There is also list of mp3 projects at http://ee.cleversoul.com/mp3_projects.html
