Since she's only 5... they make some cute little disney ones.. I'll post a link if I come across one. but in the meantime keep checking Kids.Woot : One Day, You’ll Understand (SM). there's a woot-off today.. which means one item up until it sells out (which is usually every few minutes). Killer prices too. Just keep refreshing and watch the progress bar. I've seen a few pop up over the past day or so. the normal woot.com is worth a look too

We got my son a Sandisk Sansa when he was 5. It is pretty inexpensive, is 2 GB, and comes in several colors. He understands how to use it and it seems pretty indestructible too.

I agree about the Sansa...it is cheap, durable, and comes in many colors. My daughter has one and I just ordered another on Ebay for only $25 for my niece. Good luck

Sansa= agreed. Cheap, durable.

well i got the sansa and it was very small. sort of like a shuffle w/ a little screen.

here it is:
NEW SANDISK SANSA CLIP 2GB MP3 PLAYER VOICE RECORDER - eBay (item 260480558180 end time Dec-20-09 13:07:35 PST)

my gf thinks it is too small and tat her daughter will lose it. i thought it would be bigger too but i think it is a good starter mp3 player. is this the one u guys were talking about?

I was speaking of the clip, the Fuze I think might be a complicated for her to operate (it isn't hard, but there are a lot of options for a girl that age and it would be easy to choose the wrong thing). It is small...but I don't think she'll lose it . Just set up a designated place for her to put it if it isn't clipped on her, she'll learn quick.
