Medion 1GB (expandable) MP3 player £24.99 at Kwik Save

kenr

There really seems to be a mix up on the pricing on these. Yesterday the only store locally that had one wanted £39.99. Today at work, went to get some screenwash and they had around 30 at £24.99!! (Somerfied in Gorgie Edinburgh) So picked one up then.
Couple of minor problems for me, it doesn't do bookmarks so audio books are out, and the drm is only via media player which I dont use, but then again my only drm'ed files are audio books ;-)

p.s. may thanks to jgjet for the offer of getting me one earlier.

Poplar is a bit of a trek for me unfortunately although I am still only in SE London/Kent borders... I tried 10 local stores this morning and there were none anywhere

If you can get to Bank or Tower Hill (Tower Gateway) in Central London, it is not to far away. Just take the DLR (heading to Beckton or King George V) and get off at poplar (4 stops along). Cross the road and walk a few yards to the shopping precinct.

I must admit that yesterday, was the first time I had ever gone in to that store. I have never shopped in poplar in my life, but unfortunately my local somerfield had never even heard of this offer.

Thanks mate... I do want one....well two actually but the thought of going to Poplar puts me off too be honest - as the crow flies it isn't far but the journey from here is pretty bad at the best of times.

Thanks anyway I think I will call a few more local stores tomorrow.

If you want a to encode MP3's just use Windows Media Player 10, set it to rip as WMA files which this little Medion recognises, WMA is smaller and an higher quality alternative to MP3.

Smaller and/or higher quality, depending on the bit rate. It also reduces the battery life of the player because it requires more processing power to decode.

Kwik save Edgley in stockport had some of these today

Interesting, I tend to use MP3 pro at the same bitrate as wma & the sound is quite acceptable, but does it also reduce the battery life?

I got three for the kids at Uckfield in east sussex today, they seemed to have plenty of the original quoted md 81018.
Spec v Price i dont think you can go wrong with these.
