Hi

I'm wanting to buy an MP3 player for my boyfriend for christmas around £50 (maybe more :/). Not really sure what I'm looking for, its mainly for use in the car.

Hes a wee bit fussy with brands, so nothing too "cheap" and not keen on apples. If someone could give me some advice it would be much appreciated! :)

    Sansa Fuze 4GB for under £49 delivered? I have the 8GB version (£58), very small and slim, excellent sound quality, great battery life, FM radio, plays videos too and has a memory slot so you can add storage.

    I've also got a fuze and very happy with it.
    Another thing to consider is that the fuze has a slot for a microSD card, so whatever the internal memory you can always add in extra content and swap recordings according to your mood. I have one card with audiobooks and another card with different music to the internal memory.
    In practice there would be no limit to the Fuze's capacity depending on how many microSd cards you want to buy.
