I've spent the last two hours browsing around the forums reading about mp3 players, but I think I need to make my own thread to try and get some definitive answers.

I'm looking for an mp3 player that:

Is light and suitable for running with.
Has drag and drop compatibility with Ubuntu.
Can play .ogg files (Not absolutely necessary, but a definite bonus).
Under £40 for a 2GB player.

I don't need a colour screen, video playback or any other fancy feature, just something to play music.

Been looking mainly at the SanDisk Sansa Clip and a Samsung YP-P2Samsung YP-U3JQB, but the Sansa doesn't support oggs and is apparently much heavier, whilst I'm not sure if the Samsung has drag/drop support.

Any and all help appreciated

You may be able to find an old sansa e200. if its the v1 you can load rockbox onto it and play .ogg files.

The cowon d2 is a great player, with fm radio and DAB, and rockbox is close to be working on it. A potent amplifier gives good sound, and has drag and drop and with many codecs working. It is more expensive, though. I just go one from ebay for 85 euro. But the memory is expandable because it has a SD card slot.

The Sansa Clip seems perfect for this. And with the latest firmware updates, it does have ogg support. It is small and I never found it heavy during running.
