Hi guys,

I'm going to the gym nearly every day and I get pretty bored just looking out the window at traffic. SO i'm thinking of investing in a MP3 player which will help entertain me while I gyrate. I can head to Yongsan whenever (woo holidays!!) but I want a ballpark price before I go there.

Size : smaller than a tape player
Memory : 256/512mb will be sufficient

Suggestions?

Ta,

Chris

maybe anything that fits in your price range since you don't seem to particular...
just visit http://www.danawa.co.kr and click on the mp3 button at the top. it lists almost all models available and the cheapest price for each one. you don't need to know korean to figure it out. click on a model to see a pic of it and details on the right side of the window.
i've got a sandisk 1gb. not a bad player for the money.

If you're not too fussed about features, I'd recommend a player built around a removable USB2 flash-drive. I bought a 1GB one for $140 CDN (sorry don't know what that is in Won these days) and like it so much that i gave my high-end mp3 player to my wife.

Advantages- all the usefulness inherent in a flash drive and no cable nor software needed to load songs; can upload as well as download (most MP3 players don't allow you to do this).

Regardless of what you buy I'd also recommend one with removable batteries rather than a built-in rechargable battery.
