    Hello.

    I don’t know too much about these things but I’m hoping someone would help. Thanks. =)

    Basically I am after a mp3 player that meets the following:



    - Budget of spending £175 (if slightly above may consider)

    - FM radio and record radio

    - Line in function (so for example if something was on MTV I could record music off it via a jack going from the TV headphone socket directly to the mp3 player)

    - lit up LCD display

    - 20gb+ space

    - purely for music storage and playback, not bothered about video playback or anything else just music. Added bonus if it includes that anyhow =P

    - Plays wide range of music formats such as wav, ogg, asf etc

    - fast music transfer (most likely usb2.0)



    The above features is the main important things that need including and ALL of them. What I have my eyes on right now is the MPIO HD300 for around £170 ( http://www.mpio.com/product/productview_hd300.html ), although I’ve not heard entirely positive customer feedbacks about them….. Still the MPIO HD300 sounds very good as it has the functions I am looking for and slightly more.



    I could just cut that babble and say I need someone to recommend me a mp3 player that’s better than or along the same lines as the MPIO HD300 (40gb) and within £175.



    Please help me out people. Sorry for the babbling, need to make sure I get it right.



    THANKS! Smile
