| MP3 player Gonna get one of them mini mp3 players for the g'f for her b'day, anyone got any recommendations? A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| If you wanna impress her, get her a 10/20gb iPod, they will set you back about £200 tho. Something flash based, like 256mb would set you back about £70 and they hold about 2 albums worth. Those are the 2 initial choices. |

| Yeh I'd recommend less of the smiley spamming Myth  And stop posting links to American sites... Most of us are British Anyway flash players aren't worth the money really when you can spend a little more and get a HDD based one with >10GB storage. That'll hold a tasty amount of music. 128 or 256MB is hardly worth the bother.

| She'll use it for most about 30 minutes a day when she goes for a run, I want something dead simple to use and light, was looking for say 128Mb kinda thing... Dont wanna spend too much as I've paid for her to go on holiday as well.... A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

play.com have got a nice selection of solid state players at decent prices, also a kiiro 128mb player is perfect if you can get your hands on one, twas my first mp3 player.  |

| www.aria.co.uk have a lot of decent flash-based ones. If you want a hdd based one definatly have a look at the rio karma, much better than the iriver and ipod  |
