Yes that would be nice and my budget is from 3 to 5 k but a cheaper one would be better and i m looking out for a small mp3 player not a walkman

New(I mean, latest model) ipod nano 4GB is available for 6.5k. It can also play video. check it out. This is one of the best looking gadgets.

Hey try the NANO 1GB or onwards, also another decent option will be the 6GB Creative ZEN for within 5-6K.

You could then check out Samsung and Philips.

I have a sandisk MP240 1 GB player. Cost me $60 a yr ago. Must be cheaper now.

One suggestion dont go for the video player unless u really need it. Generally its difficult to get video's in the acceptable format, and its a big pain re-encoding the videos.

Hi have you tried Heera Panna, there are lot of chinese brands available there in your budget?

Sam Kapasi · 3rd October 2007, 10:31

You must take a look at a player called YES. It is pretty good and well within your budget.

gmano · 3rd October 2007, 11:52

you can buy a transcend tsonic 610, 1 GB is selling for around 1.8k. Good music quality. Or else you can also consider philips gogear 1 gb for 2.5k, its also good.

Try Transcend brand
Its nice, neat, the output is great and realiable
A 4 gb capa costs Rs.3750 on e-bay, should be cheaper at a local market near you.

try this link:

eBay India - MP3 Players, MP3 Players Accessories, Consumer Electronics, items on auctions & discount prices

thefreak · 3rd October 2007, 12:07

I second that.. TSonic is a good good buy and they have another 2 GB version too which retails for about a thousand more... check it out...

Transcend T.Sonic 2GB + Creative EP630 = killer combi for ~3.5k

while buying it, make sure you have checked battry availability. most of the cheap(er) ones have AAA battery which is easily replacable/chargeable. I prefer those.

i am told that ipods don't even have an option to replace the battery once worn out.
