Can anyone recommend a cheapish (100-150 gbp) Walkman type MP3 player - want one for going running with - any ideas on what to go for or avoid would be much appreciated

Thanks
Graham

The Nex II with 256MB card costs about that much. My friend has one and loves it. I personally prefer a the iPod, but it costs about 2x as much.

Depending on the distances you are running, and your tolerance for repetition, a budget solution might be to pick up a used 64MB Creative Nomad II on eBay then upgrade it if needed. There's a firmware upgrade that adds support for 128MB Smartmedia cards.

I have one I was thinking of selling on eBay, but am now thinking of keeping/upgrading (my digital camera uses Smartmedia as well).
