MP3 players make great Christmas presents. With cheap and cheerful systems for the occasional user to more costly, complicated devices for the serious music fan, it’s no wonder they’re popular gifts.

In the final four weeks leading up to Christmas the new portable MP3 player that seems to be attracting the most attention is the Apple iPod Nano 16GB, rated 8.2 out of 10 by genuine purchasers.

In terms of brand recognition the Apple iPod Nano MP3 players are clear winners, but with an average retail price starting at £130, you could consider purchasing any of the Creative Zen, Sony, or Samsung lines of MP3 players since reviewers seem to agree these MP3 players are just as sound, and come in at a lower price!
REEVOO RECOMMENDATIONS: CREDIT CRUNCH PRICE DROP ALERT
For consumers looking to save some cash, the 8GB Sony NWZA818 has gone down from £105 to just £80. Reviewers love its sound quality and design and they are particularly impressed with its battery life.
REEVOO RECOMMENDATIONS: VALUE FOR MONEY
When it comes to the trade off between function and finance, the undisputed winner is the 4GB Samsung YP-T10J. It has fantastic reviews and is currently available for only £30.
