Plug it into your computer, and you’ll see 62.8MB of storage space, with 51.8MB filled with promotional material that can be deleted if desired.

2. MP3 Player Gift Card
Sure, it can only hold 15-songs on its built-in 64MB of memory, but that’s 15 more than a standard gift card can play. It’s powered by a single AAA battery and boasts USB connectivity for easy drag-and-drop song transfers. That’s right, you won’t need iTunes or any other music software to load it up.
