What kind of MP3 player?

I want to get an MP3 player for my mom who is in her 80's... She has to be able to figure out the buttons, and they can't be horribly tiny like the Creative Labs MUVO I gave her a couple years ago. It will be streaming jazz, she likes all of stuff I plan to put on it, so searching for tracks won't be an issue.

Is the Ipod the only good options? I listen to music on my Palm Tungsten at work, and a lot of people call THAT an ipod because I am listening to music on it. I suspect their brand name is going the way of the "Band-Aid" if Apple doesn't nip that in the bud.

Any suggestions?

Walmart really grinds my gears

Teresa just did her weekly Walmart trip, I know that it's the holidays, there is a ham there that was pushing $30. And Tide detergent, everything else was just low key expensive. I get it, tarrifs, rising cost of labor, insurance, yada yada yada. The total was about $225 - I have bought cars for less than than! Not very good cars, I'm just saying. What really grinds my gears though was the blatant lie at the very bottom of the reciept; Low prices You Can Trust. Every Day. A better tagline might be We know, everything is expensive, it's not just us. Maybe put the oreos back? To which I might reply: I got your creme filling right here, Buddy.
