OK all

My birthday coming up soon - wife wants to buy me a MP3 player

All I want is a 256Mb pocket one

Please no 'Buy Apple Ipod Advice!' - I have never been a 'follow that sheep' individual

Come on, what about the iRiver 390 at £119? (thats about the amount I wish to spend of wifeys money! )

Depends on what you do when listening to them. Most are much of a muchness. Personally, I'd be looking for one with a decent battery life that doesn't needs lots of heavy batteries and can be expanded beyond it's basic memory size.

The MPIO ones are pretty good. I think 12Lee on here sells them.

Thanks farmer1 - looked at that one and don't like the idea of charging the battery through the USB only!?

I'll look at the others recomemded - keep 'em comin'

Only takes 15 minutes to charge, whilst transfering files,

However there is a mains charger available, at only £30.

pslewis

Fair enough - but what about when you are on holiday and away from the PC?

I would rather pay extra and have a AA or AAA rechargeable handy .... when you add on the AC Charger its not cheap enough is it?

Pete

farmer1

I thought the same but then I realised that 256mb aint enough for holiday so just thought ahh stuff it lol

pslewis

80 songs are enough for me!

I've got a Benq Joybe 120, very impressed with it (much better than my Sony stick thing) but when they say it's got USB charging they're lying cos it hasnt!
Also has a radio which comes in handy...
