from what i have heard meizu used to come out with some really great players, but since the m8 was announced i havent heard a thing about any standard players. have they just given up?

Their M6 was their last player, the M3 has been discontinued. From what I've read, they WERE developing an M7, but production was halted after they announced the M8. Now, they're apparently making a tablet in addition to their M9 phone. Who knows if they'll ever go back to making media players...

Too bad, cause I've heard their players were great.

Well the M8 is a media player and a phone, it has a very nice UI and does have good sound quality, so i wouldn't say they abandoned making media players, they just saw the future being one of smartphones and decided to jump into that market. The M8 has progressed quite well with steady stream of updates and UI changes.

The M6 is still being made and can be purchased from Meizu stores.

my son desperately want to use mine as he his now really getting into his music but there is no way im letting him take it anywhere near school, if i lost my M6 it would really be like losing an arm. His phones is now not enough memory for him, we bought a 4GB catd only to find the phone wont accept anything above 2GB!!! - so i now need a decent player or phone for him to use

he does not like the sflo2, or any other chinese player i have(for music), after using his samsung phone he cant get used to the way most of them work, the sflo2 is too slow, no speaker and does not sort music properly, hes lost with it - basically its all about music and using music, the phone does a better job of organizing and navigating with loud speaker,

Get him a Nokia 5800, tons of stuff to do with, sounds great for music too, a lot of free apps and free life time GPS map update. You also can download a British female voice...etc.

if your getting him a new phone then defo worth looking at the sony walkman phones, as well as the samsung soul, its about a year old BUT it has a B&O speaker which is amazing IMO
