That makes it possible to carry upwards of 5000 songs - more than enough to last you a vacation!

Zebronics Stem

This is yet another mp3 that sets you back by just three digits. It fares better than the Mitashi gadget in terms of memory (this one comes with a 4GB Transcend memory card) and ease of use. However the battery on this product fails to make a mark, as it more or less requires an hour's recharge for an hour's playback. Another USP of this gadget is that you can use it as a microSD card reader for your laptop or desktop.

Mitashi EL2500

This is another mp3 player that works without a display screen and is priced at the very low end of mp3 players. That's because it has no display screen, no fm radio, and a 2GB memory. It is a great buy for those who want exactly an mp3 player and nothing else, and are unwilling to splurge.
