mp3 player- HELP! Which one?!

[gotta240]

Alright guys, i need to buy a music player asap for an upcoming trip....BUT, I have NO CLUE of what to buy/what to look for.

I am TOTALLY computer illiterate, so something easy to use would be nice.

I have like 100 cds i want to put on it

smaller the better, but usefullness first

dont know about brands and dont care as long as its quality

what is the difference between a no-name MP3 player and an actual ipod?


WHERE DO I START?!?! What brands, what is good to have in one, how much memory is necessary? Are some easier to put music onto than others? is it possible to put my cd's on one?

thanks guys...i need serious help on this subject....
