    Has 64mbs of built in, an can take cards.....

    Didnt get a good look as i dont stay in there long, *usually* their service an prices suck....but

    An mp3 player for €88 seems pretty damned good to me?

    In P.C. World (I kid u not), in liffey valley S.C.

    Cant remember the exact brand but it was the F-40 model.
    (poss MP F-40?)

    O,M,G! That's the MOS one I got just before last Christmas! It wasn't anywhere to be found except the Ministry of Sound site. I got it when it was 1/3 off, but €89's a great price tbh (less than I paid anyway!) - It's UK£149 (€214) Wonder why it took so long to reach Dixons :confused:
    The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't have presets for stations :( other than that, it's super! :)

    It is what it's.

    Just a reminder
    DIXONS, CURRIES and PC WORLD are the same company so fake competition and they swap sepecials from other stores...

    have a root around this site - despite the name they are in Celbridge - free postage to Ire/UK

    Excuse me if i'm missing something(i'm a moron so i most likely am) but 64mb is kinda small for mp3 storage,i could understand maybe 500mb or something,am i missing it?

    Yea, 64Mb is a bit on the small side alright.... go for 128Mb or even 256Mb - you'll get about 70 MP3 songs on a 256Mb player, which should be enough for any bus ride to work and back.. :)

    Unless of course you want your entire music collection on the player - they you should go for one of the iPods from Apple. They come in a 40Gb version I think...

    jayo

    They take SmartMedia cards to expand storage.

    It is what it's.

    Just a quick note on the SmartMedia - the largest SmartMedia card available is 128Mb :( May not be enough to fit the entire music collection on the player :)
