thread carefully,

awhile back i remember someone buying a 4GB (advertised like that) mp4 player on ebay.

the firmware on these mp4 players was rigged to show 4gb when in reality there was a 512mb memory chip inside.

i'm not saying that it was on this particular model but i'd research it more, look at his feedback and see is there anyone who's bought one of these and perhaps contact them.

last thing you want is for us to say, looks good and then when you want to stick on the discography of your favourite band you find out you can't.

There's a 16GB iaudio7 flash player available now. I got the 8GB version, great player if you don't mind the awkwardness at first. Tbh, I wouln't buy anything electrical from ebay.

Well the brand is Cowen. It cost €160 incl. vat & shipping for the 8GB version. I bought it from these guys.

Edit: It cost a bit more actually, about €200 + costs.

thanks for the advice, will have a look at them.
