Which MP3/MP4 player...

Looking to buy one on a budget of £30. Not after a shuffle, something I can navigate round albums/artists. Any ideas?!?

    I got a Sandisk Sansa Fuze 2gb for my daughter, its like an Ipod but a lot cheaper. Plays mp3,mp4 and has a micro SD card slot for expansion.

    Got it from Currys when they were on special £35 now gone back up to £50, but after a quick google search can found cheap here never use that website so can't recommend.

    thankyou! thats the exact one that sprang to mind when i read this thread. i saw it in the paper but couldn't remember what it was called and couldnt find it anywhere.

    Its got great reviews so i would go for that. after all the memory card for expansions go for a penny on Amazon (plus £4 quid pnp)

    but still very cheap!!!!

    can`t go wrong with a sansa (sandisk) had a look on the internet (play.com) only 1 @ £30 but if you can stretch an extra £20-30... 2gb clip (beat ipod shuffle in a recent review) 29.99. 4gb fuze 49.99 4gb sansa (with live lounge cd on the device) 59.99 i have this can`t fault it one bit. (8gb just over £60). one bit of warning, they will NOT work with anything "ipod" so if it has an "ipod docking ...." unless it comes with a sansa convertor don`t use it.

    Thanks for responses! I got lucky a few months back with a Wharfedale 4GB MP4 player from Argos for £17.49. I managed to break it this week so looking to see if I could get anything similar for the same kind of money.

    The advantage of the Sansa Fuze is it takes microSD cards, so you don't need to buy one with a huge internal memory. I've been very pleased with mine

    Have seen a Sansa Fuze for £50 at Cdiscount. A £10 voucher takes it down to £40 - can I get it any cheaper anywhere else?!?

    Is £40 for a 4GB Sansa Fuze the best deal I'm likely to get?!?

    like already mentioned, they take micro sd cards

    so buy a small memory one saving ££ and buy a bigger card off amazon for £ saving you money.

    or a 8gb one for £14
