No, you don’t.

No, they don’t. You need to purchase an optional accessory for that.

Depends on what you value more—quality or price. If you want something cheap, buy anything on the market. If you want something of high quality, go for an Apple iPod. It’s your decision to make.

What’s with all the useless question marks?????????????????????????????????????????????????? One doesn’t convey the query well enough? :rolleyes:

For 300 you wont get a headphone better than the one bundled with the player, so don't waste money on that. Look for transcend players or creative zen stone plus (may be available in that price range).

Thanx..................but DIGIT 'Best Value For Money' Award goes to Apacer Steno................Is dat a gud one? You too told dat I won't get a gud headphone for Rs. 300/-...............what u think up to how much should I exceed my budget????

Let me make myself clear I want to buy a 320GB HDD and a MP3 player.........and for that I have Rs.5000 I can't exceed that.................so i calcuated that it would merely cost me Rs.2500..............and that's y I wrote that I can't exceed my budget for MP3

Plz suggest me...........I'm really very confused...........
