MP3 Player for Training/Athletics?

Off Topic
1

I did a search for “mp3 players” but the first 4 threads I found were all from '05, so no thanks.

My current mp3 player has taken to playing out of only one speaker/ear bud (I tried a different pair of ear buds in the player, same result; tried the ear buds on something else, both worked fine). Anyone have one they particularly like?

I suppose I’m just looking for something that’s

  • lightweight
  • can take a beating (ie, left in my gym bag)
  • relatively easy navigation between songs

I don’t have a particularly large song collection, so I’m guessing that almost any currently available player will fit my library. I also don’t think I need anything with “extra” features beyond simply playing music - though if yours has one of those “didn’t realize I couldn’t live without it until I had it” features, I’d be curious. thanks

I read reviews that Sony walkman was pretty good. Ill be giving that one a try as soon as I get around to it. I find my little ipod shuffle does a decent job too. I once ran over a shuffle with my car on accident and it still worked.

I picked up a Sanza Clip for like 15 bucks off amazon… only complaint is that it automatically stays on after charging, so if you don’t turn it off, no juice.
