Whether you’re working out in the gym or running, you will sure love to do it to music, songs and lovely tunes. One of the simplest and most convenient means of carrying the music library, while on a jogging track, or in the gym, is to carry a suitable MP3 player. By suitable, we mean compact, light and loaded with your choicest music collection.

There were times when people used to carry radio sets, CD players and cassette players while running. All of these were either bulky or very awkward to carry. Again, audio quality was inconsistent. However, things changed dramatically with the advent of MP3 players.

In fact, the MP3 player is the most exciting evolution of music formats, which allows people to enjoy their music. Using the MP3 compression system helps to cut down the amount of space required by a song (number of bytes). It still retains sound, which is near CD-quality.

Experts advise to only carry a solid State MP3 player for running purpose. They should ideally hold from 2 hrs to over 300 hrs of music (4Gig to from 128Mb of storage). Since these units have no moving parts, shock movement will not affect them.
