My wife wants an MP3 player
She has tried "petrol station £10 cheapies" and was not impressed with the controls
So we are now considering an Apple Ipod Shuffle - but I am unsure whether a shuffle allows MP3's from any source other than the Apple store - can someone please confirm and also are there better alternatives (at a similar price of around £45) ?

Does your wife have a smartphone? Many have MP3 capability that will near match the ipod .
there are some Philips units within the budget.0 -

Another vote here for the Sansa Clip. Neat little thing it is.0
