I'm looking for a little advice. Mrs. Snook has recently asked for a MP3 player that she can take with her to the gym. This is because she has gotten hooked listening to little Snook's jukebox and wants to listen at the gym.

The requirements for the player are

1. Should be on the smaller side
2. Needs to be easy to use (she can't operate the DVD player)
3. Decent battery life
4. She probably only wants 20-25 songs so if it can hold 100 should be sufficent.

What are some of your favorites?

RCA Lyra should do what you want, and it's cheap too.

Most good portable CD players can also play MP3s.

I bought for my girlfriend the Phillips/Nike PSA 64MB to listening to music while jogging. It is extremely easy to load songs (drag and drop). You can get a 128MB version too. It's also rubber padded and splash proof.
