I am looking to get a cheap MP3 player, but I do not want to get an iPOD nano or whatever the cheap one is. Can anyone give me some insight into which brand and model to go with? I'd like to keep it under $75.

I just yesterday got a Sandisk Fuze. You can get an 8 gig on amazon for 65 bucks. My wife got a 4 gig Clip+ for 40-some-odd dollars. They seem to be doing the job for us.
I second the recommendation for a Sansa product. I've had a first generation 1GB Clip since the week they were introduced and have never had a single issue with it. Same deal with my wife. We've connected them fine with Windows, Mac, and various Linux machines. Fantastic devices.

I was seeing 30G Microsoft Zune players on Ebay for about $90. They are great players, and the Zune interface is so much nicer than Ipod's and I-Tunes.
We purchased a Sony for our daughter with I think 16 gig for like $90 and he 8 gig is about $60. She loves it, works great with all the sites and lasts a long, long time between charges. It was recommended by some Ws and they were right. Also navigates pretty well and easy to read screen. AT least that's what she tells us.

I believe I had recommended the Sony Walkman MP3 player. It IS a great player as well, and fairly cheap compared to Ipods. And, it's small as well. It's also a great player. (we have like three Ipods, a Zune, and a Walkman)
Recent model Sansa Clips also have microSD slots now, which means that on a per-GB basis it is likely cheaper to buy a model with lower built-in storage and then add a microSD card.
I've found 1GB to be more than sufficient for my needs (podcasts + exercise music).

I bought my $30.00 COBY player (4GB) at Future Shop (a Canadian electronics superstore) works well enough for me. Its' not intended for anything more than playing music. Using it for anything else is useless. I just load it up with music, put it on RANDOM, and there I go. Navigating the stuff on the player is kinda difficult as it's very slow, but if you're looking for something that works and that isn't a major investment, this one is for you.
I found it on Walmart's US website, hope that helps.
did that work? Hope so. Other than an Ipod - any other favorites for video clips as well?
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
