The Zen, definitely.
For £20.00 you get mp3/wma playback, FM Tuner and voice recording. And it runs for 14 hours on one AAA battery. Get a set of four rechargeable AAA cells and a charger and you're in business. Mp3 files are better quality than wma and with that in mind you'll only get a little over a hundred songs on 512Mb of memory. Unless you're a Napalm Death fan of course, in which case you'll get about 500 songs on it  That may seem like a lot of songs but you'll soon get fed up with such a small storage capacity and be looking to sell your Zen and upgrade. Maybe. I'd recommend about 4Gb storage capacity to start. |

WMA tracks can be up to 1000kb/s + though. It depends on the size they were ripped too. MP3 are always 320kb/s aren't they?

Experiment for yourself ... Quadophile would probably want to use a £200 set of headphones and "rip" his music using Ogg Vorbis ... well, he may do that, these audiophiles are a fanatical bunch.  Me, I would probably find 128kbps fine to "listen" to.

Cheers FBS
 After chatting to a friend who has the Creative i'm looking at buying, he thinks for £20 it's worth going for & if i then like using it could always buy a more expensive MP3 later. Edit @ 1845 Got it. copied the music & listening to it now, music sounds fine on it. Will listen more to it whilst in the gym tomorrow.
