Thanks for your reply, most appreciated
I wasn't aware of the distinction between a MPx player and a PMP/PVR. I have just recently bought myself one of these players...

...and with an addition 2GB of a Mini-SD card the 6GB in total seems to offer excellent storage for my needs. Having a 3.5mm headphone socket is useful and so is the FM radio.

I have started to tentatively look at some of the PMP/PVR players and have noted a ARCHOS POCKET MEDIA ASSISTANT PMA430 player for sale on ebay, whilst I might not bother with that one the whole PMP/PVR market intrigues me.
