Have you noticed how uncommon these gadgets have become? Obviously, this is partially due to the introduction of the tablet. I would still have thought that, due to the affordability of an mp3 player, it would still be relatively easy to purchase one from a choice of players. About 51/2 years ago now, I bought an archos MP4 player and would never buy this brand again. Although I can listen to music via my samsung galaxy ace, it eats up battery power, so I would like to get a cheap mp3 player but, apart from a couple of options, there is not much out there.
