Have we ranted about annoying people at the gym lately?

About those CD players – get an MP3 player if you have the $$$. Go to a store that lets you return stuff so that you can try out a few models. Make sure that it works on your computer, has a robust construction (the battery cover shouldn’t be flimsy since you’ll be removing it frequently). Observe where the plug goes in, since you’ll be plugging it in all of the time. Make sure it can stand being banged into a barbell from time to time. Buy those new Duracell NiMH rechargable AAA batteries – they are so convenient.
I ended up buying the somewhat pricy Nike one, it straps to my arm and is designed for abuse. I gave my CD player to my nephew.

Thanks for the tips, when I get some cash I will be checking out MP3 players. Just right now I don’t have spare cash, and I already had both the CD player (plays regular and MP3 CD’s and doesn’t skip, I love it) and a player pouch.

Kind of annoys me that right now my ISP has a promotion… for any new customer they get a free MP3 player. I want one! Ah well… it’s probably not a very good one anyway.
