    Fantastic, I'll definately look into it when it's time for a new one.

    The Sony NW-HD1 I had was far better then the creative zen, but the software really was the killer.

      I have a cheapo no-name 512mb USB stick player. Comes with a little cord loop to hang round your neck. If it's bouncing too much when running I just drop it down the front of my shirt. Cost £9.99 2 years ago and still going strong.

          On a related note why :

          a) is the piped music in gym's always crap.

          b) do the headphone sockets on the running machines never work

          c) do they always put the rowing machines facing a blank wall where you can't see the tv screens even if you wanted to.

            My gym has individual TV screens on the equipment - it's good!

              Damn! Which one do you use?

              Can I come and watch?

              Just to see if it's any good of course

              What do Nun's wear to the gym anyway?

                Ummm, no - you can't come to watch!

                Nuns have rather fetching gym gear.... nothing like the coverups we usually have to wear!

                  Amazingly enough, I happen to be looking for a gym where individual TV screens on the equipment is a key requirement.

                  Do you know of any in the Manchester area that would provide this kind of service?

                    If you count your Avatar's outfit as coverups them I'm definately gonna try that place out

                      I always simply remember a favourite TV show, or shows, and "replay" them in my mind. Cheap, too!
