I give in... I need to put all my music into digital files and use an mp3 player...
What would you recommend? I'd prefer one which will play .wma files along with mp3s...

Absoloute no-brainer, David... an Apple iPod.
No-one ever got fired for buying IBM and you will not find a better portable player/mass-storage device than the Roll-Royce of the genre.
That is all.

Ditto.
Though I have several cheap mp3 players by Bush, Alba and Technika which work perfectly well for most purposes. The iPod, though, is in a different league.

i disagree, ipods are too expensive for what they are when a similiar item from sony or phillips will be just as good if not better. I ordered a 20gb philips one that plays videos aswell for just £100

I know folks who have had several Phillps/Sony etc mp3 players in the time I've had on iPod and then they've moved on to the iPod after

I have to say that I steer clear of Apple products due to their propretariness (such a word?) - iTunes insistence, etc. My current mp3 player is a Creative ZEN. Plays mp3, wma, and videos. Very happy with that.

Will an iPod play .wma files?

For the usual consideration of a suitcase full of used fivers I can convert wma to mp3

Just checking...
OK... here's the answer...
You load any file onto your iPod through iTunes (installed on your computer).
When you drag and drop a *.wma file into iTunes, it automatically converts it into the AAC format (one of the formats playable on the iPod).
Hope this helps,
