What are you on about? Players that look like iPods (like Zune for example).

Give us a link, you mook!

I second that. I've got an iRiver Clix 2. Best little mp4 player I've ever had.

But 24 pounds is too tempting. Can I get a 'brand' mp3 player with screen for that amoun (iRiver for example)?

Nope, but then again you get what you pay for. There's a reason the one you saw on eBay is that cheap and I bet it isn't because it's a good quality product.

I am aware of that... but, do you think it will last for 1 year at least? I mean, if it breaks down in 1 year, to hell with it, it's 24 pounds well invested 😉

Personally, I reckon you'll get a couple of months use out of it before something goes wrong with it. Who knows though, I could be way off the mark and it could be a great mp3 player.

Try searching for some reviews on it and get the opinions of people that have one or have tried it.

Is there some 'ghost' brand you recommend of those 20-40 pounds range?

Nope, sorry. I wouldn't buy one that cheap so I know nothing about that end of the market.

Oh excuse me, Mr. Big Bucks 😛

What about lending me some pounds, uh? 😉

Seriously, I will do that, check if there are some forums about those non-branded mp3 players and maybe something comes up. I've found very useful forums with the unbranded musical instruments, so I guess I can find some good stuff as well on mp3s.

thanks a bunch
