Musical Dilemma

I broke my portable CD player a while ago. I dropped it one day while at the gym and I haven't bothered to get it fixed, but now I miss it. The reason I never got it fixed is that well I figure for what I would spend to get it fixed I could probably get a new one. That's where the dilemma comes in. If I was going to bother buying a new discman why wouldn't I just buy an MP3 player of some kind. But I'm too lazy to constantly be uploading songs so I'd want an MP3 player with loads of room, which is way more expensive than a new discman - especially if I get an ipod. Since I'm unemployed, I probably should either continue without any portable music device or fix/buy a new discman because I don't have $400. Damnit.
