    Sorry to be so clueless but can you download youtube videos to mp3 players? Is it easy for a non-tech mammy? Want to get mp3 player for son for Xmas, he's a mad WWE fan and I'd like to put some vids on it for him. Also could anyone recommend a good player, round e70 - 80ish. Thanks!!

    I don't think you'll be able to get an MP3 player that's particularly suitable for watching videos for that kind of money, at least not a new one, as any screen is likely to be tiny.

    I would suggest buying a cheap MP3 player and a WWE DVD or game in your case.

    Good question.... I'm looking for an Mp3 / PMP player that will play videos downloaded from youtube too... swf files.... I'd like one that can play swf files direct so i dont have to convert them also... I

    I think this ZEN does, but im not sure. http://ie.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=16999

    f people could come up with options that would be great.!

    The ZEN doesn't, it'll only play WMV/Xvid/Divx @ 320x240.

    Not sure of any players that play flash video files natively.
