Do people still use walkmans??

[smacky1]

The gym I just got a membership to has several tv's in their cardio room that broadcast sound over fm stations. I only have an ipod shuffle. Do people still use walkmans??? Is this the only way to get portable fm stations? Anyone know where to get a cheap/light weight one just for use at the gym?

My MP3 player is the brand Sony Walkman. It's very similar to an Ipod Nano. It's 4 GB and it cost about $100. It does have an FM radio. I got it at Target. When I tell people I have a Walkman they assume I mean one of those big cassette tape Walkman's from the 80's I love my Walkman!

Some MP3 players have FM radio built in.

Make sure it's a radio not a transmitter. Transmitters are for sending the MP3 songs to your radio to be heard over your radio's speakers.

I too have a sony walman MP3 player and love it. It is actually the same size as an IPOD but I don't have to buy my music through Itunes and it has the FM radio. You can get the older ones like 1 GB for under $50 or so. Last I saw them was at Toys R Us on clearance. Check the webite or maybe even Amazon or Overstock for the cheap ones.

Great thanks! I will be on the lookout for them. I only care about the fm part. I have a shuffle for all of my stored music.

My gym has the same thing. I found a cheap little fm radio walkman at Walmart or was it Target?
