Hi Damon
I think the Creative mp3 players are quite good, I don't use one but they do
just plug in and I think you would be able to at least get it playing files,
although navigating through folders might be harder. If you want something
that is completely accessible, you're looking at the Book Courier/book port
(probably more functionality and higher price than you want, also not
recommended to transfer files through explorer, although possible), an Iriver
player with Rockbox (probably bigger than you want) or the Milestone 311 (uses
Sd cards and is overpriced, but completely accessible and just plugs in as a
drive). Take your pick1
Also Try Brian Hartgen's website:w

Cheers
James

Hi Trace, I think I'd prefer something much smaller than one that would be
big enough to put a flash card into it. Thanks for your thoughts though.

Can't you get some that use flash or sd cards? that way you might be able
to just copy over the files directly to the card via a reader/writer and then
slot the card in to the player, card reader writers connect via the usb, well,
mine does.
At the moment I personally am torn between an ipod or one of the Milestone
players that rnib are selling, does anyone know what bit rate the milestone
will handle?

Hi,
I want to buy a small accessible MP3 player that I can just plug into the
USB port of my computer - either at home or at work - that just allows you to
cut and paste MP3 files onto it and then immediately listen to them on the move
without any software like iTunes or anything. This is partly because I can't
load software onto my computer at work. I want to use it pretty much just to
listen to podcasts and MP3 files I may have created.
Sadly the iPod Shuffle doesn't work like this and, isn't very portable.
So any thoughts on something exactly like an iPod shuffle, don't want to
have to learn any keystrokes to get me through invisible menus, one that shows
up as a drive on your PC that you paste MP3 files onto and then play them.
That's what I want.
Anyone any thoughts? I want to buy one. Do they exist?
OH and if I could pick radio up on it, that might be quite good.
Thanks
...Damon
