One other thing I didn't mention Karen re. the Currier, is that it
does play TNAUK recordings, and to my knowledge - which isn't
exhaustive! - it is the only portable player that does.

I'd have thought for anyone who's got a Currier, or a Book Port, it is
questionable as to whether it is worth changing players.

I'm a first time buyer in this field, hence my interest.
