Looking on Ebay at MP3 players and saw some cheap ones that look very similar to Ipods, has anybody bought one. They are selling 8GB ones for less than £15, is this too cheap to be any good. As an MP3 virgin am I missing something very important about these?

Having googled cheap mp3 ebay there seems to be quite few negative stories. To be honest I don't mind paying a bit more just don't like paying for fashion over function although most reports on ipods are that apart from the headphones they are probably better than anything else.

Sansa Clip 4Gb recommended by various mags / sites for sub £50.

Just bought my mum a 16 Gb S series Walkman from Play.com for £80. Excellent sound, FM radio, WMA and AAC friendly for just over half the price of a Nano.

Ipods sound great but itunes is a nightmare on a PC.

Thanks for the recommendations I'll have a look for those. Been using a mini disc for the last ten years in my van but its starting to play up, shame as its handy for copying vinyl.
