Every year i like to think i get better and better at getting my parents presents last year it was an AC/DC dvd box set and Al Murray live dvd for my dad and the year before that it was the huge Iron Madden 'Eddy' figurine but now this year it's my moms turn to get a great gift from yours truly and not just one great gift but two!

And incase you haven't figured it out yet one of the great gifts will be a brand new MP3 Player!

So now this where you guys come in,
I need an MP3 Player with the following attributes.
-Under Ł60 (Preferably around Ł40-Ł50)
-An FM radio build in
-Mac compatible
-Tough and versatile (Ie. Small and tough enough to not smash into a million peaces when she inevitably drops it)
-At least 256Mb's of space (Preferably 512Mb or 1GB)

Well thats what i need any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, er, if we disregard the price tag and it not having FM radio, how about an iPod shuffle?

Hey, at least it's Mac compatible....

Well she would mostly be using it for Radio1, Heart Fm and all them, so it would have to have a radio built in and she's only 41 and is pretty good using these kinds of things so there's now worries over her being confused by it or anything. Even though iPods are great (I have one my self) there just not the right choice for her.
