Inexpensive portable MP3 player recommendations please

[msec]

Subject says it really .. I'm thinking of getting one as a present for a daughter, but can't afford an iPod! Can anyone offer recommendations
on a good combination of sound quality, feature and price? I don't want to spend more than £100, and less if possible. Or should I be considering another technology?

I have a MPIO FD100 mp3 player, hardly touched and I want to dispose of it as I have acquired an iPod.

It cost £180 about four months ago. It has 128k memory which can be doubled by inserting a smart media card. It has built in FM radio and voice recorder and can record from the radio. It also has a remote control with a backlight. It uses AAA batteries so there is no having to recharge if you don't use it for a few days.

It is still boxed and the earphones have not been touched. Colour is silver.

I'd let it go for £100.

I've got a 128 meg Creative Muvo. I got it for £67.00 off EBay, & I really can't fault it.

They now make a 'Muvo NX' (which has a display on it) for about £120 (that's RRP though, so you could no doubt get it cheaper if you hunt around)

nearly all budget players are based on the same chipset including the muvo only difference 99% of the time is the name on the case and creative charge double the price

Every time this subject comes I always mention the same MP3 player and the same place to buy it

Ok get a Nex IIe I have had one a year, I have used it in the car, when I'm jogging and even when roller hockey training and it still works like the day I had it. 128 MB flash card will hold 5hours of music if it is in WMA fomat, and you can get one with 128MB card for £118. Go here for it www.advancedmp3players.co.uk
