1-2Gb MP3 players
I'm thinking of getting my 6 year old daughter an MP3 player. I've never owned one, never used one.

It has to have an interface that a 6 year old can use. 1 or 2Gb.

Any recommendations?

TIA

why not get the ipod shuffle, theres no interface to worry about, unless you want to have a display. otherwise i'd say the nano or since she doesnt need anything fancy, look up an early gen mini or regular ipod at 6 she might be throwing things around

i would not recommend a nano at all to a 6 year old. the display will get cracked and there will be a lot of scratches on it. save yourself some money and just go get a flash based mp3 player and when she drops it, you wont have to worry about replacing it.

Thanks guys for the replies. Any other brands recommended besides iPod? There seems to be a premium for the iPods compared to the other brands. Is the sound quality or interface that much better?

The Ipod Shuffle is the best way to go IMO..

I considered the Shuffle but it doesn't seem to be able to select a specific song. Or am I not understanding how it works?

This might help http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:k...&client=safari Remember The player has two modes of operation: a random shuffling or an ordered playing of the songs in its playlist.
