Is Bush a big name? I know that they are well known, but they are a budget brand (not that there is anything wrong with that). I spent less than £35 on this one: http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1658

It is out of stock, but I am sure that you can get something similar, or even better for the same price.

Just like Alba, Goodmans and countless others, Bush is a brand simply stuck on things to fool people into thinking they are somewhat superior to "no name", as it trades on its former greatness. As a moneysaver, one should be aware of this and not be fooled.

Kiss is a solid brand. The reason you've not heard of it is because it is generally a specialist product. Kiss Players are from Denmark - not the !!!! end of some Chinese sweat factory. Kiss is now owned by LinkSys which is owned by Cisco.

Kiss specialises in Networkable media players. http://www.kiss-technology.com/

However, don't buy a Kiss Player unless you know what you're doing. It is a specialist product that may require some initial technical setup, especially if you're going to network it.
