MP3 Player with at least 512MB wanted

mutley74

I am after a MP3/WMA portable player, with headphones etc.

Prefer to have features such as random play, digital display etc. With preferably at least 512MB, and USB 2.0 compatible.

Anyone suggest a good reputable place to buy one, preferably instore retailer, but dont mind online if good delivery service. Willing to pay up to ~£60, maybe few pounds more if it has extra features such as a radio.

can anyone help me?

Cracking spot that, i was going to buy one as a crissy pressie last week, would have cost £50 for the same thing.
Just hope my local aldi has them when I go in next week!

thanks for the quick reply. Looks good for the price esp with 3 yr gurantee. But normally heard Aldi dont stock many of there specials and have big queue (thats why i stopped shopping there)..but this looks like a good deal. Only thing it does not say if it supports wma files.

only other offer i found is

http://play.com/play247.asp?pa=stcs1&page=title&r=ELEC&title=852427

£39.99 from Play.com

But thinking now i would mind one earlier than later...good to use at work etc.
cheers

Empire Direct are offering a 256 Mb player with a docking station for £29.99. Loads of features like voice recording, Fm radio, ID tag ,USB connector, speakers on the docking station AND a tiny one on the player itself.256 Mb isn't a lot BUT it also has a slot for SD cards which means it's infinitely expandable.I've grabbed one for my son who wants to use it to record lectures and transfer files between pcs.

I am quite tempted by this offer.
Only prob is it sonly USB 1 compatable. DAK if one needs a separate card reader for using the SD card, or does the MP3 player act as a card reader/write for connecting with the pc?

Never used empire..DAK if they are any good? Is there any discount codes/offer using them around?
