TIA

I have a Rio Forge 128 mb. I like the ease of use, figuring out function. What I don't like is that I can't have certain playlists (or haven't figured out how). It's lasted a long time and I've never had problems with it. We have 2 other Rio's in our family and they've all worked great. HTH!

I bought the ipod Shuffle (Apple) a few weeks ago and love it!! Its $99! The earbuds are horrible though (for me). They are huge and fall out constantly. I bought a set of sports headphones and now I'm all set. The shuffle holds about 120 songs which i splenty for me. I use it for running only but it definately gets me through those long runs like nothing else. I had a sony sports walkman for a while but you never know how reception will be and plus you have to deal with songs you don't like and commercials. MP3s are greatr b/c you put in whatever songs you like!

I have an ipod and have about 600 songs on it and LOVE it. However, I felt it was kind of bulky for running/walking (though perfect for my office, home, car, and vacation). I just got a shuffle for my birthday and I love it. I pretty much just load the music on it and turn it on when I start out on a run/walk, and there is plenty of music to get me through. I am glad that the shuffle allows "shuffle" or plays in the order the songs are on the playlist. That is a great feature. I have to say, an mp3 player is the best toy in the world. I LOVE finding music, loading it and organizing it, and I have all sorts of fun playlists for all sorts of uses.

I have the iPod Shuffle and I love it. It's small, light and holds about 240 songs. I find myself logging on to iTunes every couple of weeks to download a few songs.

I have a Sanyo. I like it, but the MS software is easier to use with it than what it came with.

WHy do I love it? Beacuse it never asks me why I am going so slow!

I call my new Ipod a magic exercising tool! SERIUOSLY!
I dont know how I did with out it. I used to get my TM with a cd player and it was so annoying skipping etc. I havent been on my TM in so long and got this IPOD and now I swear I go for miles! Music absolutely puts me in an exercise trance! It also comes in handy at CURVES.. which I wasnt get good work outs cause I was too busy chatting with others..........However, I have to say, I feel a little bad about it. I used to talk to the girls all the time and now I dont.
I did explain to my friends that work there that I get a better work out with out talking ( they respect that lol ) and I stay a few minutes after to shoot the breeze.
I have about 300 songs so far all hard core stuff lol........... the music I cant listen to when my kids are in the car with me.........lol. and they always seem to be in the car with me! Its got to be fast paced or it doenst work. I have my "treadmill" playlist!
its the best!
