Re:MP3 Player related question (Score 1)

I've worked out (running and rowing on an ergometer) with a Sony Walkman for five or six years, and this past April I got tired of buying AA's and making new tapes all the time, and switched to a 10 gig iPod.

The iPod is light enough that I just carry it in my left hand while running, though I have a high tolerance for lugging around a five ounce object for an eight or ten mile run, due to years of doing the same with a heavier, larger Walkman.

The only complaint I have is that the iPod crashes if I frequently skip songs while running. So you either have to stop briefly before skipping a track, or ensure there aren't any clunkers in your workout mix you feel you must fast-forward through.

No problems with sweat or rain screwing up the player, despite daily use.
