Recommend a cheap, small MP3 player

[jay clock]

I use one for running. I have had a range of iPod Shuffles, currently on third one in about six years. latest one packed up and tried all the tricks but no luck.

So I can just pony up and get another, but thought I might try another brand. I already have an iPhone and a proper iPod, so nothing fancy needed, Will just load a couple of hundred songs and leave them there. Very rarely I will add a couple more.

Small, light, cheap, reliable. I can get another Apple one for £30 so £15 is target

I have a Samsung YP F3, a little thing...too little.
cant read the screen, buttons too difficult to find, always struggled with the bloomin thing, its sat virtually unused somewhere, bloomin useless.
Gave up and got a Galaxy s I think, so so much better but way over your price, so not much use there.

Creative Stone ? Some about on ebay. Tiny, decent screen easy to navigate. 2gb and 4gb flavours. We've got three !

Thanks already have a galaxy S3 phone, but that requires pockets, and changing tracks and volume etc require screen controls rather than physical buttons
Will look at those creative Stone ones though

+1 for the Creative Stone. Very small, very light, great sound, long-lasting battery and bulletproof. And like you say, yours for a song on ebay.

mmm, had a look and they were £20 with postage. Will look again

But it's not apple, and not tied to anything. Dead easy to pop your files onto it.

You could try the Sansa Clip/+ 4gb/8gb,they support external MicroSDs.They have only 6-7 hours of battery on full charge but they are really small.

Another one for the Sansa

I totally recommend that you get a cheap, small mp3 player.

Yes, you have to be willing to wait for one to come up. I got a 2gb a couple of months ago for a little under £11 including delivery.

Sansa Clip + is a good choice. Give the Zip a miss though.
