Prices have come down, ï¿½50 should be your budget for a 512mb memory stick

I have one from Ebuyer just like this. ï¿½32.75 inc VAT inc Free Shipping. It's nice and small and has been very reliable so far (6 months or so). Make sure you buy USB2.0 these days.

Try online at dabs.co.uk or scan.co uk, or else try Maplin. Betwen them you should get the best deal.

Maplin has a sale on at the moment and if you pick up a catalogue there are vouchers on the back. Last edited by Treacodactyl on Wed Jan 12, 05 9:24 pm; edited 1 time in total

My wife wants a 512GB Memory Stick for her PC.

She'll love you forever if you get her one of the new Apple ipod shuffle things - a memory stick with a music player for about ï¿½50. Might be a few weeks before they arrive here though and you'll doubtless have to get along with iTunes.

Being of the age where my interest in persuing new media to play popular music from the hit parade has started to wane, music is not the prime driver. Also I'm sure that it would join the little piles of portable things that she thinks she wants and then the battery runs out, so it would join the walkman, portable CD, minidisc and ibook in the corner. I use her digital radio.

Fair enough. Not all the music available online is mindless chart pap though - I've got some old AC/DC lined up for download amongst other things. How many bottles of homebrew do you want for the ibook?

Where/how does one download music? I don't mind paying for it if there really isn't any alternative ) But I want more shelves for books!

If you want cheap (LEGAL

) (well nearly. Read the links) online music, have a look at www.allofmp3.com. Make sure you switch to English, if your cyrillic's not up to much! I've been using it for just over a month, but they've only just doubled their prices to 2 cents a Mb!!!!!!

That means it's over $1 per album! I remember when it was 50p a pint etc....

(If you're as dubious as I was!)

legalish, then! I can't get onto to the site though - it says no configuration file (or some such IT-ese version of 'no'!) I'll try again later.

I've been using allofmp3 for over a year now, excellent. I also use www.emusic.com which has a lot of stuff from Inependent labels
