  1. Hi,

    I want to buy an MP3 player for runnning which has an armband as I
    relly don't fancy putting it in my pocket. Does anyone have any
    recommendations?

    Thanks

    Tony

  2. No, but I think it is even better to have it build in to your
    headphones. I once saw headphones that had an fm radio on one side and
    an mp3 player on the other. No cables.

    just an idea.

  3. I purchased the Creative Labs MuVo TX FM 256MB MP3 Player. It comes
    with an arm band and has been perfect. It is light and I use the FM
    radio often which is perfectly clear. It also has voice recording
    capabilities. It seems to be solid and of good quality.

  4. i've had a few, and i like the iPod shuffle best. it's super light and
    i like the mix of tunes. i hate armbands, though. make me itch. i stick
    it in my belt.

  5. I have an iRiver and I am quite happy with it. I don't use the armband but
    either hold it (it is tiny and easy to control) or put it on my waistband.
    It comes with an FM radio and also has recording capabilities.

    I have an iRiver and I'm very happy with it. The one thing I would tell
    you is to make sure you get something with flash memory and not a hard
    drive. A hard drive means you have a disk going round and round while
    you're running. Over time that will cause problems and they (systems
    with HD’s) are less likely to survive the inevitable fall that happens
    while exercising.

    Hope this helps,

    George
