Small, clip-on .mp3-player recs?

[blnchflr]

My old .mp3-player is a bit heavy and cumbersome to run with, so I'm thinking of getting something smaller/lighter, and preferably clip-on. IPod shuffles look to be within my pricerange, but I don't know anything about them. Any of you run with them - or have alternate recs?

I assume the Sansa Clip is a clip-on! I don't know if it's still being made, but it's one of the models I considered when I bought mine. (I got a Zen, which isn't clip-on but slips in a key pocket.)

I have a creative MuVo v100, which slips into a pocket, too, but my new running pants don't have pockets (wth? But they're long enough for me <3 - that's a first for me. I special-ordered them, too, from England), so the last times I went running, I've had to carry bike key (clunky), .mp3-player (clunky, comparatively), and mobile (clunky - to time myself, because I don't have a runner's watch, which I really need, too) in my jacket pocket (singular) and … it didn't really work :o)

I'll go to some stores today and see about the price of Sansa, it got one good review I found, thanks.

I have a water-bottle belt I wear for longer runs or when I am wearing clothes that don't have a pocket (in which case sometimes I leave out the water bottle!). It has two little pockets, and I use one for my mp3 player and the other for food or a camera or keys or whatever.

Also, I have been wondering - what does "runner-in-spe" mean?

Runner in the making/runner to be/in the hope of becoming a runner :o)
