    Hi all,
    As the title states, I'm looking for the best value 4-8Gb mp3 player for a 10 year old. Lookin for an online store if possible. Must be easy for a 10y/o to use, she can manage the 256Mb she has atm. Please don't suggest any form of ipod as i detest Apple even more than i detest Microsoft. Most importantly it must be fashionable :p
    What would you folks suggest?

    Thanks in advance.
    Pog

    She'll be picking music from a 70Gb collection, stored on a file server therefore itunes isn't the easiest media player for this. ATM she's been using the WMP sync function which works easily & she can change her music without my input. I use linux but she has the option of Windows on my main pc.

    I have a 20Gb ipod myself for years & I've ditched itunes in favour of dopisp, which allows you sync it with WMP. From my experience with ipods i find them rather troublesome & don't have a long lifespan, i rma'd mine, even my brothers packed in after 13months without being abused.

    Creative one looks good conzy, any other suggestions? How's Creatives build quality? Have another brother had a Creative Zen pack in on him 2.

    I'm looking for something with good build quality & a longer lifespan..........well longer than i've seen so far

    Not sure... american online stores will always be cheaper than over here.. ebay too...but that'll require a bit of looking into on your part ;)
    If i'm buying online locally I buy from AMP3.co.uk because their customer service are top notch
