I'm sorry but I refuse to regard something costing £100 or more as being essentially disposable. That's exactly the way our capitalist masters want us to think.

I was thinking of the little "sticks" that can also play mp3's but
dedicated players like the large Ipod or Sony's Zen are almost as expensive
as a new notebook or even a digital SLR camera.
