My brother wants a new mp3 player
HistoryGirl

He wants at least 4GB and is prepared to spend up to £130.

He found new blue ipod nano for £99.99 online. But I'm not convinced by the nano and was trying to convince him to get a zen player, which is what I was looking at a little while ago, before running out of money.

Any suggestions or comments?

Thanks for any feedback

Not good. You'll get the Apple fanboys frothing over how iPods are far superior to anything on the planet. And in the other corner the Creative fans. Best piece of advice, check out the players on both sides, via reviews. Don't go to either sites as the review will be biased. I have a Zen M, which I decided on after reviewing it against the video iPod and the reviews the iPod was trashed.

I too am a Creative Fan. Personally I'd get Creative, so you are not tied down to iTunes. Creative in my view are better players, and give better sound.

Perhaps Ciao or DooYoo, but ultimately most people haveing bought a player aren't wanting to slate it.

Best advice I can give is check the review sites as already posted, look for battery life and memory size, try and get as much memory for the money you have to spent.

You could also goto a few online stores and check reviews.
