Re: MP3 Players
I've always had good results with Sansa, I have the Sansa Clip 4Gb version (with micro SD slot). I found it at Currys for a bargain £25 a few months ago. Amazon have got it but now it's £37.40 http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Sans...6613744&sr=1-8

Re: MP3 Players
I've got a Sansa Clip. The sound quality is great. Would highly recommend one.

Re: MP3 Players
Another vote for Sansa. I have the Fuze with a small screen and the wife and son have a Clip. Great sound quality on both.

Re: MP3 Players
I've been using a Creative Zen for about three or four years, never had a problem with it. It holds photos and document as well.

Re: MP3 Players
Creative zen has always been good for me. My mates got a sansa - you won't go wrong with that either.

Yes, it's charged via USB. I think it needed an eight hour charge first time as it was almost flat. Now it takes a couple of hours to top up and will run for up to 15 hours.

Re: MP3 Players
What ever Mp3 player you go for, try and get some decent earphones as that is the thing most likely to affect the quality of the sound.

Agreed, cheap buds are crap. I use Sennheiser CX 400-II or Skullcandy Ink'd

I had the CX 400-II before changing to the following
I use a pair of Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 for everyday use
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...s/Product.html Play.com always sell them at great prices
and for special listening I have a pair of Ultimate Ears Studio 3
http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/ulti...rodid-319.html Cost me £85 when I got them, sound off them is amazing though.
