My old walkman is no more.


When I walk, I like to play music created for a walking workout.
It helps me walker longer, faster and it is definitely less boring.

It looks like my only option will be to purchase an MP3 player.
So far, just trying to find an inexpensive player with an FM tuner, is driving me bonkers.
I want it for my walking workout...music and nothing else.
I have looked online at several web sites and it seems the players all have flaws.

I just got back from Circuit City hoping that a clerk might enlighten me about which one might be my best option and to how to use one....nope, no such luck.


Online I was looking at the Sansa Clip...
It is small, relatively inexpensive and has an FM tuner.

If you have experience with an MP3 player please any feedback you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Lei - do you have a Walgreens near you? I just saw plain walkmans there - for about $10!

I think that when it comes to MP3 players you get what you pay for. I bought one at Toys R Us for $15 because I used to do overnight stocking. It did what it needed to do. But I looked at that website and that looks like a pretty good deal. My biggest problem was that I both download music off the internet and download music from my CD's. It was easy to convert my online music to the MP3 player because they were already in MP3 files. It was tricky when I wanted to put my music from my CD's onto the player because I downloaded everything to iTunes. And of course I didn't have a iPOd. So what I had to do is redownload everything using Windows Media Player to get the right format. Anyway to make a long story short it looks like a reasonable priced MP3 player.
