If you want a mp3 (flash) player with a good menu and options (like scrolling ur tracklist, which most small (flash!) mp3 players don't have) you may wanna choose an iRiver.

I've got the iRiver iFP-180T and my brother has got the iFP-380T (see picture).

Both are 128 mb but they have enough models with 256 or more. The price for a 256 one is around 120 - 160 euro's here in holland. (i.E. the iFP-190TC or the iFP-890).

The thing about iRiver I like the most is the battery time. My iFP-180 uses one AA battery with a battery time around 20 hours.

There are 'small' players which can do that. Like the iRiver (:wink:) PMP 120 (picture below). The pricetag is around 500 euro's.  This little thing can play almost everything :happy: including avi (divx, xvid) and mpeg and of course mp3/wma/asf

I really would prefer something where I could sort everything into albums and stuff and put it onto it, but it must be around 500mb or something, possibly more, I'm willing to pay mroe that £100 for it ;).

You can do that with all the iRiver (flash) players.

I think you're looking for something like this one:

Price: around 210 euros (around £150)

or...

Do they use batteries or what? Because it doesn't have any information about that on the website, I'd like it if I needed to charge it, but if I like it and its got batteries then i'll probably buy it to be honest.

It says on the site:

- Up to 40 hours of playback with 1 AA battery

which is VERY long for a mp3 player... with just one of those: [Image: duracell_aa.jpg]
