portable player for devotional music

[greendream]

hello everyone,
I was planning to buy a portable player for my father,a senior citizen.He will be listening to primarily Devotional content and little Indian Classical music.The devotional content is Mantras,discourses etc.

The budget is rs5000 to Rs 7500.Based on my limited research i understand a player and a reasonable quality ear phones are a must.I gather that Smartphones cannot do the job due to battery drain,low quality music output and radiation issues.
Please feel free to educate me regarding the best options available.Thank you.

My humble suggestion sir. When ur buying gear for senior citizen. Don't bother about the additional gimmicks always engage ur father in the purchase and only after his concurrence buy the product . he knows what he wants

Theironhorse,
The options you gave were nice.My doubts are
1.How good the Warranty and ASS of Sansa and Nationite will be as they are both imported and sold?
2.The cowon website clearly states that the units are used as samples,Can we expect good product performace?
Please suggest which product of the three matches my need for Devotional music and indian classicals.

Sansa is by sandisk and given manufacturer warranty and sandisk has quite a widespread network.

for cowon i am not sure though they have a dedicated india wing and warranty should not be a problem.

for nationite : pristine note is the dealer in india. warranty terms can be checked by the same.

either of these will be fine for the given requirements.
