CD/MP3 Player-portable?

[Karl]

What is a decent CD/MP3 player for portable use?

In the $ 60 - 100 dollar range.
I would like to see the Artists, Album, Song displayed and preferably a lit
screen.

Stay away from RCA's. It seemed to skip even when the thing wasn't being
moved anywhere.

I've been using the iRiver IMP-350 which, by some coincidence, is going for
$99.99 at amazon.com. It has FM built in. Display is on the little remote
dongle and displays a wealth of information. It has upgradeable firmware.
Rechargeable batteries. Belt looped carrying case available (not included)
And it doesn't skip, at least with the amount of jiggling that energetic
walking gives it. I go out and walk 3-1/2 miles every morning and have heard
one skip that I can recall and that seems to be because it jostled it as it
was starting up and hadn't filled it's buffer yet but it self-corrected
within seconds.

Thanks for the info. I have now received 2 re Iriver and will very likely
get the 350 or the 400.
