Hi, I am a regular gym user and require an MP3 that is user friendly with this activity in mind both from an headphone point of view and player itself?

i recommend a flash mp3, theres less chance that any damage will come to it from the gym as they are built quite solidly. the iriver's have good sound quality and are built like a brick. creative are also good, but im not sure if they could handle a gym workout.

workout?? What do you do at the gym?? Drop weights on top of your player repeatedly?? Haha that was funny, anyway, any Creative flash player would be great for the gym just as well as the iRivers; both are great brands. Creative makes one that is specifically built to be used for working out, the c100,- it has rubber edges, and a built-in stop watch, also its water resistant, and my fav part is that it has an SD card expansion slot so you can upgrade your storage capacity. Here is the spec page if your interested: http://creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=215&product=10794
