    Best Mp3 Player £100-£150? Advice please!

    I'm looking to spend £100-£150 on a MP3 player and was wondering if anyone could give their 2p worth!

    It obviously won't be the top of the MP3 player tree, however i'll put in a few features i would like:
    • Min - 5gb
    • Fm Radio if possible
    • Colour screen to view photos
    • Able to be used as a basic removable hard drive for transfering files etc.


    I have seen the 20gb YH-925GS (it has no Fm radio) on ebay for about £100 plus postage which looks promising - although have heard that its controls aren't that good.

    any other ideas.......

    you need to save up and invest in the Archos AV500 - is the beeeeeees knees. Only about 300 quid. Only.



    but you would get to play video, and better and bigger screen than the video ipod

    2c spent

    If you could stretch your budget just a little to £175 you could have one of these babies for 100 quid less than normal also Bgrade. I'm so tempted but ive just got a new gfx card and xbox 360 grrrr.

    Has bluetooth and wireless LAN

    Alot of things really, Open boxed, Partyly/fully used/tested/shop display/refurbished/replacement sent by manurfacturer to go in original box.

    Most sites usually state this. Dabs for example have a blue B-Grade Mini ipod it says it comes with no headpohones/manuals and has a scratch on the front of the ipod. Some place can be a little more secretive.

    Jus so you know mate there's a 6gb version with a slighty better screen thats actually costs less than the 5gb @ FULL PRICE. £152.95 only!

    No grade B availalbe but it's still in your price range and it's like an extra 50 quid for another 1GB and brand new!

    that player @ argos may represent good value for money at £100 for 40gb but it couldnt be any bigger could it?
    No wonder it's 100 quid, it looks far too big to realistically carry around without being awkward and weighing u down

    I think you right... a H10 size is probably a more suitable.

    Do most people thing the Iriver H10 is better than the Samsung Yepp YH-925GS?

    have you considered the archos xs202 it is £150, has a good navagation system, is 20 gb small and light and can easily be used as an external hd as win xp recognises it without any drivers, furthermore, with this mp3 player you don't need to use a propriatiory program to transfer music to it.

    for £70 more, you could get the x402 which handels video and pictures aswell
