I want to get the mother-in-law an MP3 player for her birthday. Budget £50 max, always used iPods myself so not sure what's best in the cheaper end.

Any recommendations?

SanDisk Sansa Clip is in budget. Small and basic but very very good and awesome battery life.

Ahh, that looks ideal, good reviews too ..... thanks
