The Zen, definitely.
For £20.00 you get mp3/wma playback, FM Tuner and voice recording. And it runs for 14 hours on one AAA battery. Get a set of four rechargeable AAA cells and a charger and you're in business.
Mp3 files are better quality than wma and with that in mind you'll only get a little over a hundred songs on 512Mb of memory. Unless you're a Napalm Death fan of course, in which case you'll get about 500 songs on it
That may seem like a lot of songs but you'll soon get fed up with such a small storage capacity and be looking to sell your Zen and upgrade. Maybe.
I'd recommend about 4Gb storage capacity to start.

As mentioned above, the standard setting for a wma file is lower than the standard setting for mp3's, being 64 & 128 respectively.
Rip a few tracks from a CD into both formats and see if you can tell the difference. If you can't, go for wma.

After chatting to a friend who has the Creative i'm looking at buying, he thinks for £20 it's worth going for & if i then like using it could always buy a more expensive MP3 later.
Edit @ 1845
Got it. copied the music & listening to it now, music sounds fine on it.
Will listen more to it whilst in the gym tomorrow.
