MP3 players

Another vote here for the sandisk sansa clip. Great little device.I believe you, whichever player you/she ends up with, may be good to upgrade the headphones, often the headphones are the weakest chain in the link.
Totally agree with this advice. The supplied headphones are usually not much cop.0 -
sansa clip me too.*_*_* Department of Redundancy Department *_*_*0

If you don't fancy the Sansa clip, then have a look at the Sony Walkman mp3 players. We have about six of them around the house as various people have upgraded at different times. Even the oldest ones refuse to die.0

I`ve had one similar to the link for the past six years with no problems whatsoever.
You may be able to get them cheaper elsewhere.

I have just bought my daughter a Sony Walkman which is a great little mp3 player and also can play the radio. It is a bit more expensive than your budget but you may be able to get a lower spec one. I use the ipod shuffle at the gym and it is temperamental about the format of the files but you can convert to the right format on iTunes. Personally though I only use the shuffle at the gym as you cannot select tracks like you can the ipod or the sony Walkman. You definitely cannot play the radio on it though.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
