The vast majority of modern MP3 players that I've seen use the USB mass 
storage protocol - i.e., they show up like a normal USB flash drive or 
external harddrive. But they can also play music. ;-)

Build quality varies widely though; to some extent you get what you pay 
for, but beyond that I can't really make any recommendations. I'm happy 
with my iAUDIO M5, but only once I replaced the manufacturer's buggy 
firmware with RockBox - a slightly nontrivial undertaking.
