I know it’s hard to believe, Sound Food readers, but sometimes when someone buys a piece of gadgetry it’s because of what it does and not just the name behind it! Those are the kind of people who can take a deep breath, walk past the sparkly Apple and Creative displays and head for this sub-£50 Goodmans media player.
The GMP34G6 is a compact 4GB player that offers storage for about 1,000 MP3s (or 2,000 WMAs) or three hours or video. There’s also a voice record function and you can store and read text files saved as .txt on it too – not quite the Kindle but useful for shopping lists and extra document storage. Media is delivered through the microSD card slot. £44.99 from Argos.
