he's asking for an mp3 player, not an mp3 phone!!

go in for transcend jetflash m. its much less than 3k but widout display. u'll hafta shell out close to 3.5k for display enabled one. alternatively u can get ennyah make. i heard its good. dunno any model numbers tho!

Yep! .:deadman:.
How d ta get the idea hes lookin for a phone.
Anyway..
An unbranded 256 mb player is available from 1.5K to 2K max.
If you can up ur budget a little bit then go for the I Ball all in one drive.Its available for some 4K +.
Its a very good performer.

Hi aman,
Actually id suggets before u buy transcend(theyre thecheapest of them all, unless u wanto go for never-before-heard brands) , that u also consider " I-Box" .Last week we went shopping for an mp3 so i know the ins and ounts quite clearly.
First decide if u want FM or not.Id suggest u ignore FM,becoz most players with FM are older ones and have USB 1.0 which have a very very bad transfer speed.We bought a UMAX player(my frend wanted FM,though FM was a disaster).
And the peice id sugest is Ibox(i don know the model number).The whole package comes like this for 2400(a v gud player,no FM but alll the other options + 128 MB MMC card)Nowadays players come like this.What u could do is give that 128MB back to the shop owner (the card comes in a seperate pack anyway) and get a 256 MB card from him.That way u cud get both economy and Features.
hgope this was usefull, post here to tell wich one u purchased after u do.

I got apacer, 128mbs, which is around 2.5k or 3k. Sounds great but, cons is no lcd, and aaa battery usage.

Whatever you buy, I wud suggest, go for ones that have internal re-chargeable battery so, that you don't have to run to get a new cell.
