Thanks Debzi but all sold out now. I would buy from SVP anytime. Highly recommended. Will keep checking.

Its £10.52 from Aria.co.uk - its only 1GB but does have FM and can play WMA files (better quality for file size than mp3)

Stocks seem to be limited.

Hope this helps

Does anyone know whether this player re-starts exactly where it stops? I use my MP3 player for audio books and the cheaper players that are stopped midway in a track re-start at the beginning of that track when you switch back on. This is not much of an issue when listening to music but makes a big difference when listening to a story!

Looks like there might be a couple of small caveats here. According to the ebuyer site, the interface is only USB 1.1 (i.e. the old USB standard), so if you're transferring across a shedload of files, it's likely to take an eternity.

Plus, it only seems to support MP3s, so AAC, WMA, etc are out.

Although for this price, who cares? :-)

Where are you reading that mate?

According to these reviews it supports all those formats. Also it is USB 2.0 so the file transfer should be quick enough, but also "backward compatible" with USB 1.1.

I bought one of these a while ago from SVP. It worked fine then the headphone sockets went. SVP were great and sent me another but that just wouldn't switch on! So I ended up getting a refund.

They aren't particularly easy to navigate either

Or even for longish classical music which I like. Most of them are usless even my 4Gb ipod nano.
They all seemed to be aimed at the 3 minute pop song market

I want a cheapo MP3 player so that I can load up CD stories for the kids on holiday, will CD stories work on any MP3 player?

I have just bought a 2GB version of this and have been using it for language lessons, I have found that it does start off at the point in the recording where you left off...

On the same Aria website they offer MP3/MP4 players for £37.54. This is before the Google Checkout Discount. It holds up to 2GB and with a memory card you can increase the capacity by a further 2GB. It also has a little screen to view video's.

I have no experience with these things but have been considering getting one.

To my untrained eye this player seem the better choice. Is this the case or would it be better to stick to the MP3's?
