So lovelies, a long time ago, in a galaxy very close to here, I had a lovely MP3 player. It was big (for the time 60GB baybeee!) and did just what was required, which was to store and play all our music, so it was Mup and Nic radio. We liked it very much. Sadly, while I was sitting at home like a large pregnant slug, too medicated to drive, I ( Read more... )

Me! Yes, yes I would, and if you still have your M&P stuff, my chums would probably buy that off you too. I have spread the addiction... Give me a price for your M&P and I will pass it on. Also, I'm just going to pass it on to other people too, so that's great, some sort of karmic sharing.

I don't really care WHAT type of player I have, I just want to listen to my music and my lovely books... whine whine whine

Is electricity tasty? Does she need new batteries?

I am looking at some houses this weekend, but mostly staying in bed knitting my faroese shawl.

It appears to be a Toddler Thing. Ours did the same as well.

I too have turned into an Apple fanboi, but I do think that the iPod Touch is worth a look, not least due to its toddler-friendly interface.

This weekend? Not sure - swimming for the garklet, possibly the cinema too.

BUT, to be fair I am on my second ipod (first one didn't break, but ran out of room...) and love them. No touch, just classic.

login broken, but this was Alex... xxxxxxxxx

It's really hard to find large capacity mp3 players that aren't ipods. :/
I don't like ipods, either, not just because it's I don't like Apple design but because of all the native crap you have to put up with. All I want is a player that acts as an external drive when I connect it. No software, no stupid itunes and especially no bloody DRM. As soon as I've bought some music, I want to be able to use it any way I like so I'm still using my old CreativeZen which is heavy as a brick.

I don't know how big you need, but I have a Sansa which gies up to 32MB and I *adore*. I have had it for several years with no problems

have the 8GB 280e, and it has been dropped many times and survived all sorts of abuse with no issues, and is so easy to use
