    Looking for a 512MB MP3 player

    I want a cheap (~£50) 512MB flash based MP3 player that is chargeable over the USB port. OLED would be nice too, but not essential.

    What suggestions to my fellow Hexites have?

    Thanks,
    Kez.

    The reviews for that player are poor Zaphod, and it doesn't mention anything about charging from USB.

    no problem.

    Only thing I cant figure out is how to order the songs in the order I want, which is a bit frustrating as I have the Kaiser Chiefs and Futureheads albums all mixed up

    ahhh - I think it does it in track number. got it in the sort of right order now.

    Although it still likes to sort the tracks:

    1,10,11,12,13,2,3,4... by the looks of things

    If you create the ID3 tags with trailing zeros you should be OK. Or, if it uses filenames, set them with trailing zeros.

    I think its the filename, so I coud change them all. Maybe after the weekend. Thanks though. Other than this minor gripe its a nice player though, worth the money.
