After last week's tips email, I ordered this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000COGTS6/ref=ord_cart_shr/202-4151497-4439849?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Even though it was in Stock, Amazon have cancelled my order, and tell me it is unavailable.
So I need to find a new one! any ideas?
The functions I liked in this one, that I would like in the new one are:
(in order of prefrence)
>>1GB(+?), and under £20. -essential
>>ID3 tag (song title display onm the LCD screen) -essential
>>Re-chargable battery -preferred
>>FM Radio -preferred
>>built in Mic -bonus!
Please help! I'm really upset about loosing the old one!

Creative are well-respected for the sound quality of their MP3 players - I've got a Creative MuVo TX which comes with 1GB of flash memory.
It reads ID3 tags and has a built-in mic. There's no FM radio on the version I have, but there is a similar model that does include one. No rechargeable battery as such - but it takes a single AAA cell. I use a rechargeable one in my MP3 player (but obviously it's not designed to be charged whilst still in the device).
The only problem is that it was about £45 - that was a year ago, so you might be able to get one around your budget now - I haven't checked the price recently.
Hope this helps...0 -
Aaah... this is the one with the radio, but it's still abouut £40 (probably worth it, though!)

Kool and the gang.
I'd rather buy brand here, because when it comes to electronics there's a lot of good things coming out of Asia, but unfortunately a lot of bad, too- and it seems like quite a gamble. Found good players from a site called Uxcell, but their Ebay feedback is all over the shop!
Thanks for the help- the 512 version is almost in budget!"Money is the root of all evil" -Poor person.
