Care to be a little more specfic? What size in terms of memory do you want? Do you have a credit card for internet purchases...

bullock · 30-07-2005 11:24am

Up to 1G, The smaller the better and of course value for money.

Don't go for an ipod shuffle.
If your looking for one at that size creative are your best bet!

Thats rubbish. Yea they're bigger/bulkier - but the battery life is far superior to the Ipod.

Its worth keeping an eye on the refurbished section in the store on creative.ie as well

If you're still looking for a mp3.. Take a look at Sony's Nw407..

Go to sony.ie.. then go to sonystyle.. It's about 150..
It has a screen.. Sound is better than shuffle too.. Especially if you use it with the ex71 headphone..

Check it out..

loads of cheap no-name players available on ebay, many of which double as a usb key (ie no cable required)

Dixons, much as I hate the place, behind the counter on the bottom shelf (almost hidden usually) sell end of line mp3 players look for the yellow *managers discount* stickers, and make them an offer, dont just go with what the sticker says, these either sell or are binned (stolen by staff)

A slightly odd suggestion but there is this "mp3 player" which instead of having built in memory uses an sd/mmc card instaed. So if you happen to have a camera sd card of any size you can use that. Good price if you already have an sd card. I don't know about quality of playback or anything though.

Theres quite a few mp3 players on which might be worth a look.

Oh and throwing my hat into the ring here I would go iriver over all as they are the best

Never a complaint with an iriver so far.
