Well, I want to get an MP3 player for my gf, she works out a lot so I want something she can strap to her arm. It would have to be around 128 Mgs and pretty easy to use. Another nice feature would be FM/AM radio but thats not necessary.

So if you have one please let me know. I really want to make sure to get something that is good quality and that will last long.


Thanks.

Ummm.. Do you have a fine collection of strap ons? That's other odd, especially for a guy...
 
All about the Muvo.... it also doubles as a USB key. You can get the 128mb version for $99 Its the size of a pack of gum. I love mine!

The belt clip fits easily inside some basketball shorts and I've been doing it for almost a year with no problems.
 
Please I would only like suggestions if you've had personal experiences with them. Thanks for all the suggestions so far. And yeah an IPOD is too much, I want something light and durable.


Thanks.
 
I have an iriver iFP-190T and am very happy with it. It only has 256MB and no expansion but I figure that it can still hold 4 albums and I'm only at the gym for at most 2 hours at a time. It comes with a FM radio but I never use it and the arm band works fine.

Also since it is a solid memory mp3 player, I don't have to worry about it skipping when I go running. People will tell you that it is ok to run with an IPOD because of the buffering so you won't get any skip, but I would feel uneasy running with a hard drive attached to my waist.

Then read amazon.com user reviews.. Honestly, do you really think that a lot of ATOT users hit the gym frequently enough to review sporty mp3 players?
 
I got the MPIO FY200 for my gf. It's about 140 for the 128MB version. There's a 40 dollar rebate from Bestbuy too.
 
Get the Phillips KEY 006. It's cool looking, small, magnesium case, 128MB and doubles as a USB drive. Best Buy had them for ~$96 not too long ago.
