Any recommendations for a cheap and cheerful Vista compatible player to suit aging Lothario?

Cheap, good quality, 512Mb which isn't much these days (probably about 200 songs? somebody help out here), BLUE!!

thousands out there monty. loads prob. no good though. most you just drag and drop the files, the mp3 player appears as a removable hard drive on your pc. got a creative one for daughter, sounds great but not much memory compared to whats available now,very small though and sounds great. been looking at ipods today, gonna prob get one free with a mobile contract i think, a whopping 160gb, 40,000 songs or 200 hours of video.

Monty, how much you looking to spend? Then we can give good recommendations.

Thanks for that lads. We are going away for a few days next month and I hope to get a spot of fishing and painting in. My old Walkman is knackered so I wondered about replacing it with a more modern system. I don't really understand these things too well apart from the fact that it will have to be compatible to Vista for the downloading to take place.

I think a one gig would be big enough so I'll root round and see what I come up with

Sorry Dylan post before seeing your reply. As I would only use it on the odd occasion say £20/30, I don't really have a clue how much they are

You want one like that then. That one is $30 here, so I imagine it would be something comparable over there.....probably around 30 quid.

Cheers mate, I already know more about them now than I did five minutes ago

the creative nano costs about £30 or did and its 1gb, you'll be suprised at the price of some of the ipods now as well , i was looking on ebay to work out how much my "free" one is worth to see if it's a good deal or not.

I think it is just a matter of plugging in selecting the drive and down loading, there'll be instructions, not that you can understand them these days

apparently when you only want certain tracks you drag and drop I tried that with my tom tom and had to get the son in law to reset it .I was getting a warning of speed cameras in the drive way
