MP3 That Supports Folders??

Hi,
Can anyone recommend an MP3 that supports folders please?

Comments

  • A bit more info would be nice.

    What sort of price are you willing to pay?
    What capacity are you after?
    When you say 'supports folders,' do you mean just folders in the main directory, or do you want folders within folders?

    Supporting folders can have 2 meanings.
    My cheap alba (£15 from argos takes an sd card) can supports folders as in it can play files that are in folders, but you navigate through the files sequentially as if it didn't (A right pain in the ...)
    On the other hand my mums Samsung YP-U1X can handle files in folders and navigate the folder structure much nicer.
    The question is do you want to use just mp3 or do you want aac, wma, wma protected, vog, orb etc etc...

    Price; about £20.00
    Capacity; 1Meg+ would be nice.
    Just folders on their own would do but files in folders would also be nice.
    Just MP3 would do but others would again be nice.

    O.K. Keeping to the £20.00 mark do you know if it is possible to get a minimum 1Meg, Mp3,and just folders?
    Thanks

    I don't have any experience of sub £20 mp3 players so I can't advise you.

    Creative make good players. A 1GB Muvo is available here for £27.50 plus p+p. It supports root folders and will also play DRM protected files.

    Thanks,

    around £30.00 would be a more realistic price for what I'm after.
    I'll have a good search!

    This meets all your requirements and at less than £20 delivered is a steal....
