hi all

What to get my mam an mp3 player for christmas, nothing fancy just want to put 100/200 songs on it. I want something that is easy to use, that she can select albums/songs so the ipod shuffle is out.
I was looking at the one above but know nothing about creative and if the one above has this function.
I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me!

looks like it would do the job, only thing about creative is that their software is horrific and hard to use.

Could you suggest something with fairly straightforward software? I was hoping for somethin like a fancy memory stick that I would just ''drop'' music onto?

Yeah, um I'm gonna have to go ahead and yeah disagree with you there. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah. I haven't had any qualms with Creative at all. Also if you have a machine running Media Player 10 it will synch up when you plug it in so you can just browse to your files on any machine. (No installation needed).

EDIT: Sorry just reread. So if you're looking for a flash drive to drag and drop files I'd steer clear of Creative/iPods. Those "cheaper" brands they have in Argos will do the trick. No wait, I think the sony one is set up like that. I got one for my lil bro a while back. Plugged it in and just comes up as a drive.
