Question

I'm after an MP3 player, as work is only 10 minutes walk away and the radio is getting on my t1ts!

I would like it to:

be small
have 128Mb (upgradable to more ideally)
have a stereo jack (so I can use my own earphone rather than the usually crap ones supplied)
be USB compatible for easy uploads (Windows XP)
Cheap-ish (although I'd pay more for features)

Cheers
Andy

I've had the DMK128 for, ooo, maybe six months now.



Real thumbs up for it. Works fab and half the price of the nearest Sony model. USB downloads of MP3 are ultra quick on the USB.

I use it in the gym (superb - I have to chuckle at the folks carting CD players about), on the train & tube, walking the dog etc.

Can't go wrong with it IMO.

Chris.

no, no, no, no, you don't want a zen, you want to wait a couple of months until we launch the mpio HD-based player that's going to undercut the iPod

The hard disk options would be cool if I were making a longer journey into work, but for 20 mintues a day, it's not really an issue.

Hence the reason I wanted a 'solid state' and cheap MP3 player!
