Running the OPs criteria through my MP3 player selection engine I have the perfect match

I thought since the explosion of iPhones and then other smart phones MP3 players would have died out.
My main use for it is if I want to go running in down pour then I don't give a tulip if it gets soaked and broken - it hasn't in 5 years. In addition it is small and light as a matchbox but my phone is bigger.

That's kind of the problem, not much effort goes into them although on the other hand you'd think it's a solved problem by now. A car-friendly UI is the important bit.

Hahaha, OK bit of a cluster**** here, I bought the bluetooth version of the Kubik Evo.
Then discovered that my bluetooth kit doesn't support MP3 players, 'phones only.
Then discovered the LR cable is a 3.5mm, Evo has a 2.5mm socket. adaptor in post from ebay...
You may call me (once!)

Seems to work well, better with some decent headphones though. Plays FLAC too which is nice.

You might even just get a cheap smartphone 'burner' and leave it in the car. You could have no SIM or a PAYG for emergencies.
Heard the one about the IT specialist and the balloonist...?

Thanks for that, think I'll go for one of those.
Oops, I meant 2.5mm jack earlier, the landrover's not that ancient.......

We use a Kubik Evo in the motorhome. Excellent little thing, decent sound, has USB and 2.5mm jack outputs, 8Gb of memory and a totally baffling set of control buttons so just leave in Play and it wakes up when the ignition does.
