I want to spend up to £80 on one - don't need anything fancy. I have about 200 mp3s on my pc that i've downloaded or ripped from cds. Will i be able to play them on any mp3 player and how many would i get on it? I'm new to this. Also is there anything else i need to know before buying one? Thanks!

I'm not sure how your currency converts to the U.S. dollar so I'm not positive exactly how much you're looking to spend. But an iPod shuffle might be the best fit for you. It's cheap ($70- US) and you get the iTunes program which will convert most of your music to the right format (mp3). The number of songs that you can fit will depend on the size of each file. Most mp3 files are small and iTunes has an option to compact them and make them even smaller. I think this would be your best bet seeings how you don't have many songs and you're new to all this.
Check out http://www.apple.com for more info on the iPod Shuffle.
Good Luck!

if you use a website to compare prices and specifications you can get a much better idea of what options you have as well as what sort of price you can expect to pay- 200 mp3s equates to about (4mins=1song=3mb) 600mbs which would fit on a cd which you could play on a cd-mp3 player (retails at about £30) . As an actual MP3 player you will be looking for a 1gb player.
On http://www.kelkoo.com or http://www.pricerunner.com you can browse electronics->mp3 players-> 1gb to find what you are after :)

inventive Zen has continually been plenty more cost-effective than its significant compentition - the ipod. And its a lot extra acceptable in words of audio high quality. don't be fooled by using the inexpensive MP3 gamers, which haven't got a similar high quality of output.

www.cnet.com Don't worry I don't work for them or anything it's just they were very good when i was buying mine. it's a review website. maybe look at "which" magazine as well. I got a "creative" in the end and it all worked out well but major hint!-get more memory then you think you'll ever need!!
