    Depends on the quality level of the mp3, but on average a song is about 4 mb. Longer the song, bigger the file. Better the quality, bigger the file. So in a 128 mb player you'd get about 30 odd songs. Bought a 256mb one from ebay pretty cheap. Bout 70 I think. Mp3, radio, voice record etc.

    Yeah - if you allow a 1MB a minute you'll get decent (128kbit) MP3 and excellent WMA or OGG.

    Bought an MP3 player (256MB with radio) on eBay last week for 50 YoYos including postage - had it within the week - have a look here

    That seller has loads of them - I had to try about 6 auctions from this seller before I got it for the price I wanted, but that only took an extra day - it's worth the wait.

    Nice at the price. Does it support ID3 tags?

    That's not cheap at all for what you're getting.

    On BlankDiscShop (svp.co.uk) they're selling a 256MB Sumvision MP3/WMA player with Voice recorder, Blue back light, ID3 display, LCD display etc. for €69.10 ...even the design looks better! So for an extra 128mb for less money you can't go wrong. It's USB 1 as opposed to 2, but for 256MB you hardly need the high-speed tranfer that much.

    BlankDiscShop is very reputable and has loads more stuff to make your order worth while - shipping will be about €15 regardless of how much you're getting.
