Just to let you know how I got on.
I bought 2 MP3's
one for me and one for 'er indoors.
Like Claddagh, I've got a Creative Zen micro 5gb (with radio) for me. Duty free at Stanstead when we went to Spain in May. Touch sensitive takes some getting used to but its ok now. Nice big screen coz I can't be doing with pissy little ones. The whole thing is about 3" x 2"
'Er indoors wanted one with "proper clicky buttons" and a "decent screen I can read" (buttons not touch sensitive like the Zen) so the Sony NWHD5B fitted the bill nicely. Its 20gb so will hold everything we need and as she's into audio books you can get loads of those on it too. Its about the size of a 20 fag packet but much thinner. She's in love with her Sony
