I have started running and now want to purchase an MP3 to take along for the ride. What MP3 player do you recomend?

    Any chance you could use your phone? I use mine and it keeps me from having to carry around another device and then I have it if I need it.

    Love my ipod but also sometimes carry my phone w/ music on it, although it's bigger and bulkier to carry.

    I have a 160 GB iPod classic but I have been considering getting one [or two] iPod shuffles specifically for working out. If only they would come out with a 200 GB iPod.

    I use the Ipod Shuffle. It is tiny, no buttons to fool around with, I turn it on and then don't touch it til I turn it off. I don't always run with music, sometimes it's nice to hear the birds, your heartbeat, your breaths--so try some runs without music.

    I started with my ipod, but I really like listening to pandora more with running. I have too much on my Ipod and I like how Pandora keeps all the same type music together. I dont have time to classify all my ipod music that way!
