<http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/> have a few SD/MMC reading MP3
players for even less. Specifically these two B-grade players for £4
and £5:

I seem to remember Argos sold some pretty cheap ones, too.

(Not sure whether it's worth bothering too much, though, the Zen
Stones seem cheap enough, and the Creative Vision:M I've got feels
reassuringly solid. And it supports playlists, which I guess some of
the SD card readers may not which would be annoying.)

Do this things look like straight usb mass storage though, or does one need to install hundreds of megabytes of junkware purely to protect others' 'IPR'??
