Using an Mp3 Player for exercise, whether we are running or working out in the gym, we like to do it to music. To our favorite music or music we’ve chosen for what we’re doing – possibly vigorous music for aerobics, soothing music for weightlifting, or a good beat for running, snowboarding or skiing, whatever works for you, is the best for you.


One of the easiest ways to carry that music is with a suitable MP3 player that is light, compact and loaded with your choice of music.


Using an Mp3 player for running, as we all know, over many years people have carried radio’s, cassette players and CD players while they were running. All of these were either awkward to carry, or were limited by the length of tape or CD, or the CD would skip, or the radio reception was varied or nonexistent.

The MP3 player for running has changed a lot of that, but not all. It has become noticeable that some MP3 players are best not used for vigorous activity. Over the years we’ve been told that computer hard drives are temperamental and deserve to be looked after. Shaking or dropping them, we’ve been told will damage them, as a minimum – cause bad sectors, and ultimately cause loss of data or a damaged boot sector.

Then what happens – we are sold MP3 players that run from computer hard drives (ie, spinning disc’s). Yes, we know they have shock protection built in, but this is so we don’t hear the skipped music tracks – not to stop the hard drive from being damaged.

I was discussing these thoughts with a client last week, and was interrupted by a computer technician, I thought whoops what have I said wrong, he then confirmed what I was saying is right, as he had replaced his MP3 player hard drive twice in 2 years. He had put it down to heavy use as he is always playing it, apart from the running, and not realized the real problem (that he was using his MP3 player for running) until after a discussion with his work mates. Now he uses a solid state MP3 player for his 25Km runs and has had no problem with either the new unit or his hard drive MP3 player over the last 18 months, none at all.

My advice is to only use a solid State MP3 player for running, they can carry from 2 hours to over 300 hours of music (from 128Mb to 4Gig of storage). These units have no moving parts, therefore shock movement will not damage the music quality, the storage or there long life.

I heard that excessive listening to mp3 player may cause some auditory problems which can lead to deafness. As if it were true now I’ve become sound sensitive after 3 years of non-stop listening although I’m not sure about a possible correlation between these two things. I’d like to know your opinions in the matter. Thanks!

This Christmas season, mp3 players are going to be high on the lists of music loving kids all over the world, and parents need to be informed before they rush out to buy one. So, here is a list of some great kids mp3 players. 

The Apple iPod shuffle is an inexpensive, but kid-friendly mp3 player that comes in at a much lower price than you might expect for an iPod. You can pick up an iPod Shuffle for as little as £37 depending on where you purchase it. The iPod shuffle comes in five different colors (green, blue, pink, orange, and grey), has a built in belt/clothing clip, and is available with 2GB of storage, which equals about 500 songs. Apple also has a few more iPod products, ranging from the 8GB Nano for around £130 to the 160GB iPod Classic for about £175 and of course the latest iPod Touch, which will set you back about £215 for the 32GB model and £290 for the 64GB model.

If an iPod isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, don’t worry because there are plenty of other options available. The Lego 2GB model is an excellent kids mp3 player. This durable, portable music player is easy for even the youngest child to use, as it features easy-to-press control buttons, and a handle to ensure easy carrying. You can pick up the Lego mp3 player for about £35-40.

Many other personal music players on the market can be found for under £20. It just goes to show that the coolest electronic gadgets for kids do not have to break the bank!

No matter which kids mp3 player you choose to go with, if you follow this guide, you’ll be in good hands. Remember that the best electronic gadgets for kids are ones that are durable, fun and easy to use, and come at a great price for the gift-givers.

I have to write a persuasive essay for english class about why i think that iPods are better than all of the other mp3 players on the market. What does the iPod do that the rest don’t? How is itunes better than other software programs? Any websites talking about this kind of stuff would help a lot too. Thanks!
