Simple "Drag and Drop" MP3 Player

    Hoping someone can help with this...

    I am after a simple, but robust MP3 player that can be loaded with MP3 simply by drag and drop from Windows Explorer. The reason I'm asking for one like this is because work restrictions mean that I can't load up an operating system like I-tunes but our USB ports are enabled. It will be used for training people so will be mostly spoken word files and potentially video.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Jim

    See if you can pick up a Creative Zen M - you'll be looking for a retailer
    with old stock as they're discontinued or see if Creative are selling any refurbs.

    With the TV out for video it'd be suitable for showing video on a projector
    or TV.

    Duhhhhh the A818 was a bad recommendation.... I missed one word when I read your post, you said "training PEOPLE", I missed the people part :P.

    A disadvantage with the Creative ZVM is that it works over the MTP protocol, which occasionally needs to be updated on certain computers. This is just an issue to be aware of as otherwise the ZVM is stellar

    Given that you will potentially be using video perhaps an Archos 404/405 with video out adapter may be a good option.

    The Cowan iAudio 7 would fit that bill. It's small, flash based and shows as an external harddrive to transfer music.
