MP3 Player for the Gym

Anyone have any recommendations on a good MP3 player for the gym? I used to use my phone.. but I just upgraded from an iPhone to a Samsung note, and the note doesn't fit between my compression top and sportsbra as smoothly as the iPhone did haha.

So I’m in the market for an MP3 player that really would only be used at the gym or outside running, and can’t justify the cost of an iPod as I don’t need really any of its features.

All I really need is something small that can clip onto my shirt, holds a couple hundred songs and I can easily surf through my music.

Any recommendations?

    I just bought an ipod shuffle for running it is very small clips on to your clothing. I am not sure how many songs it holds but I like it for what I bought it for!

    i just bought a second hand 6th gen ipod nano for 60 bucks. I bought a wristwatch band for it and wear it on my wrist. works perfect and doesn't get in the way.

    I've got an old ipod nano that is perfect for the gym. I like being able to see the songs so a shuffle doesn't work for me.

    Nah......Shuffles don't have a menu. You literally can "shuffle" & that's all.

    Sansa Clips are cheaper & still really small. You have a menu so you can delete songs easily.....you can shuffle by artist or shuffle by genre if you want. More versatile than the Shuffle.....for less money

    The Clip+ is expandable....just pop in a MicroSD card.

    If you have a Window computer with Windows Media Player......you have the software needed to download songs or add tunes "ripped" from CDs.
