| 517098 | 2007-01-18 02:22:00 | Hi All I need a MP3 player primarily for gym use so it would need to be able to take a few knocks and semi-rough treatment. Probably want a minimum of 4gb and a max of 20gb Please post your recommendations for models that will suit my requirements. (links would be appreciated) |

Price doesn't really matter at this stage *EDIT* Less that $1000 One other requirement I forgot to post, must have a very easy/reliable computer interface for song transfer |

| 517103 | 2007-01-18 03:07:00 | They are good as long as you don't sit on them. Most people tend to get and iPod arm band as a 3rd party accessory. I see a lot of women running with them. The Shuffle is probably quite good in the gym too. I have the 30GB Video capable iPod and although I don't take it to the gym I find it is fine for everything else like listening to music. |

I am thinking pocket and run the cords up my t shirt, I will be using the weights room and on the arm would get in the way. |

| 517105 | 2007-01-18 03:17:00 | Possibly a belt clip would be good in your situation and run the ear phone cord inside your shirt. There are accessories for the iPod to cover virtually any situation. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 517106 | 2007-01-18 03:28:00 | Thats true altho theyre a tad expensive for the beltclip things. I think this one costs round $60, for this Video Ipod. Good tho, has the gaps for the wheel/headphone socket and interface. Lucky the case was on when I dropped it on concrete, it wld have broken the screen. I just keep the case on, and connect it with one of the spare USB cables. |
