Just trying to buy one for dads birthday but not sure whats best and hoping some of you techie gurus can help.
Im ideally looking for a 2GB memory but not sure whether the recharchable ones are best or the ones that take 1 x AAA battery? How long do the batterys last?
I was looking at something like Phillips/Sony as they're decent brands but they're all battery required as opposed to rechargeable.
Any suggestions? Dont really want to spend more than around 35 quid ideally.

My instant reaction to the title was get an iPod. I then saw your budget and the fact that it's not for you, so therefore I would suggest you steal an iPod.  |

I'm a fan of the Creative Zen players... I've got a Zen V Plus, and the missus has the new Zen. You could try the Zen Stone which is about 29.99 at the moment, rechargable battery, but you'll need the updated version (Stone plus?) to have a screen and know what you're listening to... http://tinyurl.com/2z23bv (Currys) |

The "sandisk clip" may be a good alternative as well Lady.

I mean some of them have the USB built in as opposed to a cable.
Is Zen online only or do some shops sell them?>
