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.

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."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

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

I always simply remember a favourite TV show, or shows, and "replay" them in my mind. Cheap, too!Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostAmazingly enough, I happen to be looking for a gym where individual TV screens on the equipment is a key requirement.
