Sandisk Sansa Clip, I have one and it has survived a 10 meter drop, a pen ink explosion and much more;
It's great for using while bocking. Oh and its known produce some of the best sound quality in the sub-£200 market, and is known as genreally being an amazing player. You can pick an 8gb one for about £50, but you could get one of the smaller memory models and expand it with a SDHC card if need be.

Oh and it's about the size of a small matchbox, and with it's clip you certainly won't drop it.

Sony PSP-1000 with custom firmware to drop the processor speed to 11mhz, allowing 18 hours of music playback. Plus a logitech polycarbonate protective case. :)

so hows about an el-cheapo little stick type mp3 player thing, rigged onto a 12Ah 1.5v battery (the equivalent of 10 AA batteries use)

would have a huge battery life, and be vaguely portable

jsut for reference, the dingoo has a battery life of about 10 hours music@ 360MHz, upgrade teh battery, and clock that down and you've got a real monster

oh and it's smaller than a psp :D

I went into comet and go a £14 2gb stick one that runs on one AAA battery

So if I fall on it it's cheap to replace and 4 AAA rechargables keep me going until I need sleep  :Claugh:

Hardest part was getting headphones that stay on while jumping but aldi did a set that go round the back of your head and they stay on even in a fall

If he wants something small and cheap then he should get what I suggested, has great sound quality and all that jazz, with aplenty of extra stuff too. Should only cost £20-£50, depending on how much built-in memory he wants, oh and the battery lasts 15 hours.

Thats why im thinking of the Iriver Spinn £99 does everything an Ipod does... even runs all the games, cheaper as more memory and looks fantastic :D
