Need tips on buying an mp3 player.

[canadianpsycho]

Well I finally got my fat ass off to the gym... And new testing at my work pretty much demands I need music to listen to while I'm in the warehouse...

I'm trying to figure out a good mp3 player to buy. USB (2.0 if any even support it), and size are major selling points (strap to my arm would be nice... workout shorts don't have pockets).

Should I be worried about the quality of the playbacck? What size storage is good (3-4 hours would be nice)? I typically burn all my mp3s at 192 or higher...

Any suggestions or directions greatly appreciated. Testimonials, websites, whatever.

Thankye.

The only mp3 player I can recommend is the iPod. This thing is amazing, and don't even think about comparing it to anything else on the market. Only thing I can't do with it is sprints- I mean hard sprints. Otherwise doesn't skip or anything like that. A great little machine.

Hrmm I'm browsing around now... Almost looks like mp3 players are still way too expensive.

Do MDs skip a lot or at all?
