Is it safe to jog with a HDD based mp3 player?

[Gooberlx2]

Of course, assuming I didn't smash the thing around or drop it on the ground, is it safe to jog with my Zune 80 in an arm-band? I wasn't sure if it'll mess up the HDD over time.

...Seriously? No personal experiences here?

Zune 80 is kinda large for jogging don't you think? I think most people jog w/ a flash based MP3 player. Shuffle's very popular.

It will be fine, those hard drives are meant to take a good deal of shock.

i use my 5G 30GB ipod with no problems after all these years. also my brother has used his 4G 20GB ipod with no problems either.

8gb Nano ftw. Don't know why people would use anything else for working out.

Yah I run w/ my 30Gig as well. Theres not a problem so far from the running.

Good to know. Thanks. the researching I'd done online seemed conflicted depending on where you looked (with most people saying it's fine). I trust AT's response more than others.

Sure, I'd get a flash player if only for the size....but $$$ prohibits.

That's ok, you can believe in that. Just find some good choices around your budget.

See http://www.smh.com.au/news/rev...=fullpage#contentSwap1 flash players are recommended for use when exercising.. I have been bringing my zen stone plus for my exercises - small and light for me to carry around, a highly affordable one too!
