MP3 Player

Want to get myself an MP3 player but don't know where to begin. I will be using it when out walking and on holidays. Everytime I read about them I get totally confused, any ideas you guys have would be much appreciated...

Heres a site might be of interest-particularly if u dont want an iPod:

I bought a Cowon iAudio from this Irish site recently:[broken link removed]
They also do iPod and are currently offering free delivery which made them the cheapest I could find-surprisingly.Hope that helps

Probably overboard for what you want...

Primary decision is how much storage and what kind of storage.

Hard Disk Storage vs Flash Storage
Hard Disk = more storage for same money + more lightly to break
Flash = less storage + much less lightly to break - usually smaller and lighter

How much storage
I have a 40GB and 20GB zen and spend a great deal of my time skipping tracks, then I have a 2GB flash player that just has good music in it.

I would be happy with the 2GB player and keep the rest on backup.
