I have read the helpful online reviews here and have decided that MP3s are the way to go. I am stumped, however, as to which model. Personally, I am a technophobe, but am looking to purchase a decent MP3 player as a Christmas present. Has anyone had any experience of the Sony NWHD3? If so, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, particularly regarding music quality, battery life, and most importantly, value for money! Many thanks.
