i used to have this old samsung 32 mb mp3 player with no screen that i used to use for the gym and jogging. it always stayed tucked in my pocket and the music just plays. nearly everyone i've seen at the gym and on the jogging trails with some kind of digital music player doesn't even look at their player while working out.Originally posted by: So

When you have a gig of music, trust me, it will make a difference. My muvo is the oldest one, and is only 64MB (got it for ~40 bucks) and the lack of a screen makes it a PITA.
Plus, @ $99 for 512 mb, you're paying for the apple name.
With a gig of music walking around campus or on commuter train i'd definitely want a screen. But the OP says its for the gym and jogging so no screen might not bother him. The shuffle has its niche, but for everything else the OP wanted, i'd go with the muvo.
