Best small and light MP3 player

[astral83]

Hi

I am looking for MP3 player and would like to hear peoples opinions on what they think. I want something as small and light as possible - not too worried about huge storage - 1Gb will be fine for me I think.

Players I am considering:

Ipod Nano (though am a bit worried about the screen cracking issue)

Creative Nano

Sony NW-E99

Sony NWE407

Thinking of a budget of around £100 though if anyone knows of any better small players I would be grateful

Thanks

Marc

hi,

I've done a lot of research and have limited it to two:

1 - Creative Zen sleek

2 - Sony NW-HDH5

Both very good, but I think I'm going to go for sony as its looks a better built/interface despite pants sonic stage s/w......with 30gb, 40 hours battery and 135 grams - what more can I say...

Creative Zen Micro All the way ^^

If you want cheapness...

Ebuyer MP3 Player With Expansion Slot £12.57 inc VAT
Quickfind code: 85038

Ebuyer Extra Value 1GB Secure Digital Card £35.00 inc VAT
Quickfind code: 96295

= £47.57 (or roughly £50.00 delivered to your door)

Though a Zen micro is probably the preferable choice

A vote for the Zen here too, and i is listening to it as i type.

You'll find a few threads about it in this section, plus theres a review of it in the User Reviews section.

where do you get your music from? you cant put napster songs onto the zen micro can you?

 

[ChristopherP]

www.allofmp3.com is the way forward - and no it's not illegal (bbc news)

 

[stuartw101]

Is that the russian site? If it is, i heard its legal in russia but in UK etc it isnt due to countries having different laws.

 

[ChristopherP]

i read that the companies took them to court but they could do anything against aomp3 because of russian laws...

so get the VERY cheap music while its still legal

 

[stuartw101]

so have you bought any music from them? Its about £1 an album isnt it.

 

[ChristopherP]

Its roughly 10p a track i think.. so yeah about £1 an album

Have you?

 

[stuartw101]

Nah, im still not too sure about them. Its a bit of a grey area as they are legal in russia so there not really legal here to buy so im a little unsure.

small and light mp3 player

Anyone had any experience with the Iaudio U2 - seems like a nice player. Had a look at the creative zen micro but am looking for something a bit smaller.
