Today's Woot is a 4GB Sansa MP3 player. I got one the last time around and it's been rugged and reliable (even though I've dropped it onto the pavement -- twice -- and left some nasty marks in it). My only problem with it is that it's a refurb, and it drew blood.
Yes, those two points are related.
The back of the unit came with the letters "REFURB" attached in either a solid thin plastic or metal, I'm not sure which. I didn't pay much attention to 'em. Turns out while I'm carrying the unit in my jeans pocket while going everywhere, the letters rubbed off. One of them -- I think it was an R -- attached itself to my multitool and waited for the moment to strike.
When I needed the multitool again -- as it turns out, for assembling another Woot -- I reached in and tried to grab the multitool, but somehow managed to embed the letter half-way into my thumb. No, no hyperbole -- literally, only half the letter was sticking out of my thumb. I honestly don't remember what I did with it. It's probably somewhere in the carpet, waiting to be discovered by my foot.
...But other than that, it works great. (And came in quite handy while cowering in the basement.)

I don't want to think about the implication of having a pint-size Justice League operating out of my internal organs. Though it would explain my heart.

My current player has too little capacity and I'm thinking about a new player. My only stipulation is that it plays ogg files so I'm leaning towards a Samsung model or something that rockbox works on.
