depends on whether you want flash or H/d
ive got both and i prefer the lesser size 1gb flash one ,Creative Zen Nano Plus 1GB MP3 Player

less access time, no noise, aaa batteries, that last ages x1

Flash - Anything from iAudio

HD - you can get Rio Carbon 5gig for under £80 now.

I got an Iriver H10 (5gb) for £80 just before xmas...from the high street

I have a Creative zen at the mo but its rubbish as the headphone socket keeps cutting out. I think Im gonna stay clear of Creative, 5 to 6 gig will do me, hard drive or flash - not really fussed, either would do tbh.

I hear good things about irivers, and the iaudio / rio carbons I havent heard of, not that that would put me off it, as long as they are good quality products.

Got a Sony NWE107 here. Paid £100 for mine but I've seen them new for £70 now. 1 GB, powered by single AAA battery, tons of battery life, small and light, great sound quality (after you upgrade the headphones). Some people complain about the Sony software but I'm yet to have any problems with it.

Yeah i love my Iriver H10 , feels quality, and the sound quality is great you can also buy replacement batteries easily. It also has a good battery life

Im tempted for the Iriver H10 6GB MP3 Player (Gray) (MP-014-IR) overclockers are selling.

If you can stretch to £120, the Archos XS202 can be found for that much online. 20 gig, great sound quality, drag and drop. It's a nice player, I've got the XS202s and it's yummy.

Ok mate thanks for the recomendation, I'll look into that one.

I've got the Iaudio U2. 1gb for around 110 including delivery and very good

I'm very happy with them. So happy in fact that after very unfortunately loosing one (i;m usually very careful, belive me

) I researched a bit more but came to the same conclusion, it was the best as far as 1GB flash players went so bought the same one again.

While looking around, everywhere I looked, all sites/forums were saying that for sound quality, iaudio are the best so I highly recommend them

I just picked up a brand new 2gb iPod Nano for £110 delivered from MM, brilliant little thing and it really is tiny.

dont get me wrong i had a couple of issues with the creative nano, but the firmware updates have sorted them out.
jimbo the zen issue, have you been in touch with creative cos imo their rma and customer service is quite good (especially compard to acer and sapphire) and, they speak english (based in ireland -i think)
unless they went to india for some 'taters'-lol

Jimbo · 28 Mar 2006 at 10:16

Dont think it would do me any good contacting creative mate as I beleive the player is now out of warranty.

I'll try and send them an email and see what response I get though.
