Yup, they do exist.  Check out http://www.mp3.com to find the link to them.
 But if I were you, I wouldn't bother.  Sure they're light and stuff, but
for $300 for a 50meg mp3 player (which isn't enough space for your average
mp3 album) I'd rather dish out an additional $100 for a cd burner. And burn
all my mp3's into cd audio which I can take with me anywhere for about
$1.50 a cd.  Just my .02 cent.
