I just ordered two of these myself.

Might be good for a little pleasure listening, eh? 

Can't beat the price... :)

Subject: A Terrific Deal on A CD/MP3 Player


Greetings Friends and Family,

In case you're in the market for an inexpensive CD/MP3 player with lots of
features for under $20, you'll want to jump on this one immediately from
J.C. Penny's catalog Number QP680-0366; call Toll Free JCPenney customer
service number: 1-800-222-6161. The price is $19.95 with three colors
(purple, green or yellow) still available at this writing. Below I have cut
and pasted some info I received about this player earlier in the week. This
is an amazing deal; I ordered two of them.
