forgot to mention, needs to be between �20 - �40. Thanks
morning mountainboo - hp do a nice little colourful one for around �40. My son has one, and it's never let him down.

Cheers ice, will look it up now
Argos have lots but it depends on how big you want your display. Have a look on there and see if you can find a review for ones you like the look of on pricerunner.co.uk or something like that.
go on e-bay they do ones from hong kong that look like i-pods about �20.00 mp4
Sorry mountainboo - I didn't realise you were looking at the 2gb. ones. Think James's less than that.

No worries. Thanks everybody, think I've found one. Going to look at reviews
I got an excellent one from Argos, made by Acoustic Solutions and was about �30. It's lovely and small, but with a good display, and it's so easy to use. Much better than the Ipod I had (and sold!!)

I bought one of the hong kong ones (he didnt say he was from hong kong at the time) and to be honest.......it's ******** brilliant. It was crap at first until I discovered this website........http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/34 9770
(read the post by animalz).
Most of them are hacked/fake memory. This hacking will cause the problems he outlines. If you format, you will find much less memory. Probably about 2gb for a 4gb player. That plays movies on a 2" screen. With radio, voice memo, GOOD mp3 playback, folders, photobook, USB pen drive, speaker, changeable battery, earphones. For about �12. DELIVERED FROM HONG KONG. �12 is the price of many earphones.
I know the �200 160GB Ipods look nice. But the earlier ones DID have a ton of battery/screen problems.
I'm very happy with the hong kong one I got off ebay now that I formatted it.

Thanks everyone, all very good, I found a creative zen stone 2 gb in black which I have ordered.
I bought my husband a Creative Zen MP3 player from Play.com last Christmas. Our youngest daughter & granddaughter have the same model & they're all really pleased with them. They were quite a bit more then �40, but you could always take a look on their website: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/291/ 375/3-/RegionHome.html?searchtype=genre The service from Play.com is second to none & no postage charge. Good luck...
Whoops - your last post wasn't there when I posted my answer mountainboo. The AB site is obviously still up the wall....

I see that you've now ordered a Creatine Zen & I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

I like the idea of a Creatine Zen. Builds muscles AND sounds good!
