Does anyone use an MP3 player while running? If so could you recommend one that works well?

Thanks,
Sven

I have a few friends who use the Nike PSA 128 and swear by it. Straps on to your arm. Check it out on ebay.

I have a creative Muvo NX and love it. I got one for my wife and sister since they work out to. The player works just like one of those thumb drives with the USB plug driectly attached to the unit so you don't need a cable. Plug it in to any computer, copy MP3's over (no software required), and unplug. It comes with an arm band which is a little small, but I just use a laniard. I think the latest muvo has FM capabilities as well.

The RIO players are great. I'm on my second (lost the first

). The model is S35S. Holds about two hours of music, but pricier models hold up to 10 hours. Battery lasts 8-10 hours. Really durable, too.

I just recently got the RIO Forge 128 and love it. I don't know how I was able to deal with the Technocrap they play in the Gym before I got it.

I still have my first mp3 which I purchased over 3 years ago. It's a Muze 128mb which plays about well over 90 minutes of music. Back then it cost me $ 200.00. You can now get it for less(see below).
It's small size is what won me over has I was doing marathons so I didn't see the logic of carrying any extra weight. The IPODS today are for sedentary people -really. It even survived my wife running it thru the washing machine. This thing sounds good too not cheap. It doesn't have the extra's bell's and whistles but Hey I'm running, not looking at the damn thing. The only thing I always need is a good set of headphones.

It not only plays MP3 files, but also has an FM radio, and Voice Recorder.
