OK, I have a friend who loves music but hates technology of any sort. I know she wants a dap but has put off buying one because she's worried she wouldn't know how to use it.
As she's been a good friend, I'd like to treat her to one. But I don't want to spend a lot in case she can't get to grips with it. . . and it ends up on eBay
. . I know her entire music collection consists of about 20 CDs (everything else is on her computer) - and I know she won't need anything more than 2GB (for now anyway).
She'll need something really easy to operate. . . so
I can't ask her about preferences as it's a surprise! And I don't want to give her something so complicated that it puts her off the joys of daps forever. But I'd like to get her started on something a child could use (almost!) Any suggestions would be welcome.
Oh, and I don't want to spend more than £50 ($100) as I have to ship to Canada on top.
EDIT: When I say she 'hates' technology of any sort, she can use her computer with no problems. It's more she hates anything that requires loading (software) or complicated instructions!

- No complicated software
- Simple interface with easy access to everything
- Average/good SQ, she just listens and enjoys. No critical listening here.
- Possibly a screen might be useful as well.
- 1 or 2GB capacity
