MP3 player

[martinturner]

Righto, need an MP3 player for work ... not got a lot of money. I mean £50 tops!

I am confused, have seen the following;

Zen Stone Plus 2GB for £45

Archos do an MP3 player (looks like an iPod)

One I am really intrigued by is the Sumvision Sempra 2GB MP4 ... looks the part and has got some really good reviews. Also plays video ... for £36; do a search for it before you rule it out.

Now, what I want to know, what about sound quality? obviously that is what it is all about - the Sumvision I am really tempted by but hey, should I just be buying an iPod? I used to have one years ago (gen3) but thought it was crap, my portable cd player had far superior quality. Made no difference with better headphones.

Suggestions please, what would you buy?

Had a listen to a Creative MuVo the other day. They come with a variety of memory sizes and should be within your budget.

Sonically, although headphones a bad fit i was very impressed with it, especially considering the cost. Also like the fact that it plugged into usb and was recognised like additional drive so songs could be transferred direct(as long as not over 320kbs) witout need to use special software.
