Title: New Mp3 Player
Post by: Garden Manager on February 15, 2011, 17:06:35
My wonderful samsung Mp3 Player died on me recently. Had it about 4 years and got a great deal of enjoyment out of it. Despite borrowing one frm a relative i am feeling rather lost without one and i am now on the hunt for a replacement. trouble is i am just a bit overwhelmed by the range that there are out there at the moment, not including iPods. I dont want to spend lots of money (cant afford to) and dont want lots of fancy features. Just want a player with good sound, capacity, an FM radio and is easy to use. USB rechargable too. dont really want to spend more than about £40 - £50, less if possible.

Not too fussed about another Samsung, although i did use samsung software for uploading and deleting and found it easier than using media player or real player.

Any recomendations or places i can look for more advice?. Have looked on amazon, argos, currys etc, plus manufacturers websites but still none the wiser.

Can anyone help please?

Don't buy an ipod, I am always hearing nightmarish stories of people trying to get songs onto them.


edit:- there's even one story on here.  ::)

I have always liked creative players..

Plug and play
Drag and drop songs direct on to the device
USB chargable
FM radio

I cant speak for this model personally tho..

Most mobile phones  have an mp3 player built in, mine has a radio as well.

We've both got creative zen bought a few years ago and really easy to use. Never put any music on yet though as use them for radio 4 podcasts only.
