Oh and thanks for the heads up about the ear plugs. Is a case necessary would you say?

Case? It's literally the size of my thumb (just a bit wider). With tiny buttons everywhere so prob more of a hindrance.

There's the 32 gig sandisk class 4 (or is it 6) microSD cards for £13 that's what I got.

It's also fantastic for covert audio recordings. Clear as a bell under a thick fruit of the loom t-shirt clipped onto the front pocket of my jeans.

I looked at rockboxing it but.... maybe one day.

As for earbuds I got the Radiopaq custom tuned (don't get the newer apple/volume controls ones)

Reviews of the 4 types there and they're £9.99 all versions on Amazon.

I've got the Jazz and absolutely adore them.

There's some good deals for under £20 atm just pick one for how you'll use it.

Thanks about the volume tip, I've had mine since Christmas and getting ever fed up of the low volume. This is a great little player so would recommend buying one
