I need a new mp3 player for less than £100. If it doesn’t have external micro SD storage, then a minimum of 16gb. If it does have a micro SD slot, then 2-8gb would suffice.
Any suggestions?
sansa clip+
can be had for about £30 (if I recall)
I have been doing a lot of browsing on this subject recently, and the stock answer to this question does indeed seem to be Sansa Clip - v inexpensive, quite tough, small, big capacity, good sound - plus it has a radio (which I would appreciate).
I also ran across Colorfly C3 though, which can be got for £75 ish on ebay import - apparently extremely high quality and certainly a bit different. This one is as-new [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Colorfly-Pocket-HiFi-C3-Digital-Media-Player-/171106943071?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_PortableAudio_MP3Players&hash=item27d6c4c05f ][/url]
Decent set of 'phones to add to that - Brainwavz R1 are supposedly excellent.
Not that I have any direct experience of any of that, but I have invested/wasted a lot of time looking into and reading between the lines of reviews.
I looked at the Sansa Clip and to be honest they really do not inspire. My last couple have been San Disks and I was looking for something a bit different.
Check out the Colorfly then Mikey.

Sansaclip for me. Although I use my phone almost all the time now, but the sansa really is very good.
I had a quick look Glen: The review I found said the interface was rather poor. Is that your experience?
My experience runs only to fairly extensive reading reviews etc - interface, extra features etc all very basic or non-existent on the Colorfly. Build and sound quality are fantastic though, supposedly.
For my own part I decided that additional stuff such as internet services (Spotify, online radio etc) and browsing/video were attractive enough to make me wait until I can get an iPod touch, but if sound quality on my own tracks were number one and only priority I think I'd try the Colorfly.
Unfortunately the one I found on ebay is from America and I need it by Friday as I go on holiday on Saturday.
Just ordered a Sansa Clip. I don't have time to order from Hong Kong or the US. It'll do. It's not as if I use it that much these days: I just want it for the flight to Canada.
