Now, does anybody have one of these? I think this would be perfect for jogging. There are small flash players to look at though, any recommendations?

That sucks as hell. I can't imagine myself buying a mp3 player which wouldn't allow me to play the track I want when I want. I want a damn screen.



Should be perfect for jogging though.

I have a very nice iRiver MP3 player, and I'm very happy with it. It only has a small memory, but it has a radio tuner and voice/radio recording. Prefect for those muffled recorder-in-pocket recordings at music concerts if one is ever inclined.

For these reasons I wouldn't buy an iPod shuffle.

The Pod is probably good for jogging though, as it's extremely light.

I have a 1GB shuffle and a 20GB G2 iPod. I primarily use my main iPod in my car and I literally carry my shuffle everywhere with me. Its tiny and fits in your pocket snuggly.



I set up a playlist in iTunes which has all my favourite albums in. When I connect the shuffle, it takes 240 random tracks just from said playlist - therefore whenever I have a quick blast on my shuffle (sat on the throne for instance), I'm only ever gonna be listening to my favourite tracks.



Having no screen is not a problem - a basically play a game of having to name a tune to myself within 5 seconds of it starting.



Robot.mx - you can buy a waterproof/watertight sportscase for it.

Check this out, Iggy. It's the Sony-brand of flash-memory players. I bought the 512 MB player before Coachella, and it's really nice, only 26 grams and runs for 70 hours of playback on a single AAA battery. Has random shuffle, repeat, and a small screen with full ID3 text information. Cheap, too. I paid $137 CDN for it.

Well actually dark star i've steered away from the iPod shuffle and have been looking at Sony flash players.



The one i'm very interested in is the NW-507





�149 1GB 50hrs rechargeable battery life. Not yet released though.



Hey dark star. do you think you could take a pic of your flash player next to something so I could see the scale.

Unfortunately I don't have any film left, or own a digital camera, but holding it up against a CD, it's about half (a spec less, actually) the diameter of the CD.



Thickness-wise, at its midline it's a little under 2 CD jewel cases thick, and quickly tapers off to about half a jewel case thick.



I can assure you that it's tiny and when I didn't have it securely stowed in my bags, I kept it plugged into my headphones with my headphones around my neck so I wouldn't lose it. I honestly didn't even notice it in my jeans pockets around 95% of the time.



Mine is the NW-E105, and is circular in shape, as compared to the one you posted.
