Hiya guys,

Just a quick question. What MP3 player would you recommend is best for sports (such as tennis and stuff)? I wouldn't mind but my iRiver isn't big but you would feel it after a hefty game. Plus I wouldn't want to drop it!

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Ben

Not sure about that 6630! A gimmick would cost me a lot of money, although I think Mike is along the right lines with having a flash memory player. Wouldn't skip like a disk anyway.

Ah, thats a good point, didn't see your post! However.. I wouldn't like to drop a £230 phone out of my pocket.. whereas I wouldn't really care if I dropped a £70 mp3 player.. :p

nah, I just thought the name was quite a cliché, I mean, Benji's looking for a player for sporting activities, and the player uses a "sport" in the name, so, yeah, um.. alright.
