Assuming you mean listening to/streaming music (as opposed to creating it) then the lower spec machine should be more than adequate.

That said, if you can take the RAM up to 4GB in that series of MacBook then I would recommend doing so.

Hi Steve,

Do you have to do this at time of purchase or is this a after market option ?

Thanks Steve,

Have now found another source for higher spec model for £828.00 which sounds a good price to me
