ditto. i love that little thing.
Wow, this thread popped back up! Here is my update. I got one. I've run with it twice. It's awesome! It's hotter than crap here, so I haven't had to test it in wet conditions, but the seran wrap idea sounds pretty good.
As for the "your not cool if you run with an MP3 player" people, I couldn't care less what you or anyone else thinks. It makes my runs a lot more fun, so it's good for me.

Bingo! People who are worried that "people might not think I'm a real runner" by running with a MP3 player are probably still in high school. Or very insecure. I love mine as well, I wonder how well it'll hold up during the summer months when it's going to get really soaked in sweat.
I've never been big into Ipods, but I might get a shuffle. My fiance has a regular Ipod and she got a shuffle because , well, that's another story. Anyway, I never wanted one because the ear buds won't work in my ears, they always pop out. However, yesterday she got some $20 earbuds that actually fit. I am thinking of getting a shuffle. You can get them refurbished for about $50.
Question: I have a bunch of mp3s that I got from Napster and Limewire a while ago, how do those work with Itunes?

There is a way to import them into iTunes. I forgot how since I did it about six months ago, but it isn't too difficult. I had a ton of mp3s I acquired back in the day and I was able to get them into my iTunes library pretty easily.

Ugh, iTunes is terrible. Personally I use Winamp. That way I have my entire MP3 library that I've downloaded from various sources, then just right-click them and add them to my Shuffle. It's incredibly simple and I think WAY better than using iTunes.
So how do you get Napster,etc MP3s to work with iTunes? Don't use it. There are plenty of other audio managers out there that work with iPods that are simpler and better to use.
... As for the ear buds issue, I hate them. I just got a pair of over-the-head headphones that don't budge when I run in them. Work well for me!
