MP3, CD, minidisk, radio, or cassette tape?

[Debu]

What do you all use in the gym to keep you going? I'm debating on an mp3. I don't know if i'll keep up with downloading different songs all the time, cd's are pretty bulky, etc.. Does anyone even buy cassette tapes anymore? ; )

Cassette tapes???? They are just as bulky as CD's. It's really easy to download mp3's or burn CD's, I like a variety, not just one band the entire time.

MP3 player all the way. No worries about skipping. And you can make whatever playlist you desire...

Keep mp3 player and CD in bag at all times...mp3 is cool, but I have so many CD's....it all depends on my mood

I'm the lone geek with cassette tapes?
I jogged with a cassette player a few years back before the MP3 & I just still do. I sometimes listen to aerobics tapes - I've actually taught in studios that didn't have CD players, so I needed tapes.

I make mixes form CD's, so I have the variety. I don't mind the bulk, I got myself a little belt pack, so it's no problem. I suppose I'm also used to wearing the belt pack & having it tied to my head from teaching with the microphone headset & belt pack for the receiver.

I figured most would say MP3, but it only holds about an hours worth right? It seems most convienent to change up the songs but I don't see myself that organized yet!

Most have a slot where you can hold extra memory. The memory cards vary in size. You can easily get another hour of music that way...

this is a subject I am an expert on...

I like to run, so cd's were a no-no beacuse of skipping...so i used to burn cd's and transfer them to tape. I am very into house/techno music..have turntables, records etcetc so I would always make my own mixes.

That takes alot of time...so then I got a mini disk player because they don' skip. I had alot of problems with it, it wouldn't always record, and it also broke.

This year they got these ez-zone things at my gym, so you buy the headphones and on any machine you can watch tv or listen to your own cd's, which is very cool.

For my b-day last october I got an MP3' player...best thing I ever used. It's light, you can transfer files in a minute...I have the Rio one and I upgraded the memory to 128MB (it comes with 32)...

there are MP3 players with a hard drive (6 Gb I think)

==> hours of music at CDs quality

I remember seeing one that was a portable harddrive, 6gb, but might be a little bulky for the gym.
