    Just got one of these in the North Shields Tesco 24 extra. Incidentally they were in bins in the aisle, not with the mp3 players (where i first looked). There was about 25 left. It is a good price, the other one they have in store is £30 for 256 mb

    Typical!! I bought one of these last week after I saw them advertised in the paper for 19.97. Thought that was a good price. All wrapped up for Christmas now.

    If you've still got your receipt then buy another one at £9.97 and return it with the original receipt - you'll get £19.97 refunded.

    I did this with the personal DVD player they've just reduced - no problem.

    Can anyone that's got one of these tell me if you can fast forward/reverse tracks and if it shows the total duration of the track before it starts playing?

    Might seem trivial to some but it's important for me :)

    It should tell you in the manual you can download from here :

    I've just downloaded that manual and it refers to a bluetooth mp3 player... which this definately isn't

    You can fast forward and reverse tracks - The scrolling main display shows the track name and track time. You don't have to press play to see it.
