Buying an Mp3 player - Recommendations??
 

I am looking to buy a Portable MP3 player as a Xmas gift. After looking around a bit I see almost all of them have drawbacks. The Ipod is on top, but its too big to use as a workout/jogging tool.

Whats a nice one for on the go people? It doesnt have to be HUGE in storage... Who the hell needs to walk around with 5K songs anyway? Are they walking around the world?

ipod, or better yet the photo ipod if you have a digital camera. you can carry your entire archive of photos and plug them into any television for viewing where ever you go.

iRiver H120

Zen Micro

iPod

iPod all the way dude!

I just got mine a few weeks ago and I use it to work out, have had no trouble. You just need to find a good place to stash it.

ipod is OK but keep in mind that the batteries will only last about a year under normal use and you can't replace them yourself. That makes ipod completely useless in my opinion.

Yep, i think a 3rd party company make an arm strap for it

Yes you can replace the battery yourself

I have not run across an arm strap for the regular model, (which is what I have) only the iPod mini.

If you know of one though I would really like a link if you can find one, I may be interested in getting one.

I have a Nomad Jukebox from

why anyone without a mac would use the ipod is beyond me?
