Im after a small cheap MP3 player. All it needs to do is play a few (100ish) songs for a few months, do any of these look OK

With cheap mp3 players remember you get what you pay for, personally if i was looking for something around your specifications I'd go for a Creative zen stone, at £5 more expensive, the extra build quality is well worth it. It's a better mp3 player than the more expensive iPod shuffle (which are a complete rip off IMO).

Out of the two you posted, go with the alba. It already has twice the memory as that acoustic solutions one and you can expand the memory with an SD card (VERY cheap of the net these days). Neither alba nor acoustic solutions are known for build quality, I know two people who have had acoustic solutions mp3 players break, and I myself have had an alba mp3 player stop working on me.

thanks for the help,
i think i will get a zen stone (never even herd of one Lool) they look cool
do you know any shops that sell them? (like not for the internet)

I've seen the stone in argos, currys, comet, PC world ect. Anywhere that sells mp3 players should stock it .

Though usually it sells for around £27, so you'll save about £7 if you get it from amazon .

First one looks a good one with a bigger memory too.
I bought a cheap one last year, I buy cheap for work 'cause it will get damaged. It lasted a year and it was ok. My phone has a better sound to it though.

If you have a phone that's capable of playing mp3's, just get a nice big memory card for it and away you go, an mp3 player without adding anything else to your pockets! My Sony K800i can take a 1 gig card, loads of room for songs, and space spare for taking photo's.

Yeah, my old Nokia N70 had a one gig. I had more songs than you can shake a stick at. Loads of photos and plenty of software. Use a phone, they also double up as.... as a phone!
