MP3 players?

[Ickybob]

Hi peeps,

It's my little brothers birthday next month and he's going to be 11. I want to get him a little MP3 player but I have absolutely no idea what one to get. It needs to be fairly easy to use because he's dyspraxic and struggles with dexterity, but is very good at using computers etc, so it would be things like buttons etc he'd struggle with as a pose to the actual software. It needs to be fairly robust because being 11 he is an absolute terror for dropping/eating (yes he eats absolutely everything)/damaging things. My budget is about 30-40quid so I can't take the easy option and get him an iPod touch.

Anybody any suggestions?

Thankies!

Vicky

i have always used sony ones, easy enough to use and can buy them cheaply enough nowadays.

Saying that you can buy really cheap ones for like £10, but it depends on if you want a large one with a screen, or a small one, or a usb type one with no screen.

I would second the Sansa Clip. I had one myself and they're pretty good in terms of storage and quality, and I also bought one for my little brother (13) and so far it's survived! I'd say that's the best thing within your price range. :)

Thanks peeps :) still debating it lol because he'd probs loose the sd card lol. We'll see anyway cause he has a smartphone and tablet so may leave the MP3 player.
