I've recently gone from walking to jogging and I'm finding it a bit unwieldy with my CD player strapped around my waist and yet..... it is the music which motivates me to exercise longer.

Have any of you tried any of the Nike Portable Audio products by Phillips? (I don't know if there are any other manufacturers).

These appear to be MP3 and CD players that are worn around the upper arm supported by an armband of some sort.

I'm wondering how well these work and whether they slip, are uncomfortable, good sound, etc. ? Any comments are appreciated. I need my music when I exercise. For those of you who bring your music with you while you exercise - how do you carry it? What works best for you?

THANKS ALL! Barefoot

My MP3 player is small enough to hold i my hand, or tuck in my pocket and it doesn't skip.

It was a cheapie too. LOL. $100 or so at Radio Shack. It holds about 30 mins of music, but it accepts expansion cards which will boost that up to a few hours ig I wanted to.

I love it.

I've got a Sony CD player w/AM-FM radio that I belt around my waist, putting the CD player behind me. I bought (separately) a great carrier for the player (it is probably the only reason I can jog with the player). It's a SONY player made specially for working out and it hardly ever skips, although once in awhile it does. I've also jogged with one of those AM/FM radios strapped to my arm, which was very very comfortable, but I want CD music most of the time, so I use my player. I really wouldn't say I have any really difficulty jogging with the player strapped to my back. You just have to get the right carrier.
