i like the sony net discmans to be honest. i can fit a lot more music on one of those and at a quicker transfer rate than on my sony mp3 player.

RIO S50s are about 130 bucks. S10 are a little cheaper.

But the special purpose he mentioned is athletics. For that solid state memory mp3 players are ideal. If long playlists beyond a couple of hours are your target then other storage solutions become more desireable. But I would not want to run 10 miles with a disk or hard drive based system. hanging a player off a exercise machine or putting one on the book holder can be detrimental to the wallet. They cannot withstand much abuse. Athletics entails major abuse.

mini disc players are great devices . I don't think they're what you need.

Solid State mp3 players are the way to go.

Check out this mp3 player.

Its small. Compact. 10 hours of playback on one AAA battery. 128 mb of storage, only takes about 3 minutes to load your music onto Any that'll give you what?- about 2 hours of music?

This player can be hung around your neck it is that small and light.Or on a keyring.

At $ 114.99 its not a bad deal either.

Its one I really want for myself too

One of these days...

Thanks Guys. Your notes have been very helpful. I work out for about 3 hours (2 hours on weights and 1 hour in the pool). I will have to check out some MP3 players and see which ones can load up some cool music.

I saw some MP3 players at Costco and I was surprised at their size. They are small things, which is cool. I'd like it to be small so it does not get in the way.
