Default Which MP3 Player

I'm after some advice please. We intend to take 30 (or more) MP3 players with us to India so the children we teach can listen to the audio book version of the books we will be providing them to read.

I'm looking for a reasonably robust player with 4Gb memory. We would like to take at least 30 and our budget is £600 give or take. If we can find a suitable player cheaper we'll take more.

All it needs to do is play the books, no radio or Dictaphone capability.

Anyone has any experience or links to suitable products with the volumes we want?

Thanks,

M and A

For the kids you could go 2 ways, get a more expensive reputable make, maybe rugged, waterproof version to last longer time, something like this:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-MP...ged+mp3+player

Or you could go for cheap disposable ones and buy large quantity and just replace if/when they fail. The ones without internal storage using SD cards and not including headphones start from £0.50 including shipping from China when you buy single unit and could be cheaper in bulk buy, you could hand them out like candy . http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-M...rchweb201560_9
