Pls help, I'm techno-clueless. If I don't want to fork out for an iPod how else can I listen to music when I run?

Hi, I don't want to take my iPhone with me when I run. Is there a cheap, small walkman-type device I can buy to listen to music/podcasts/ audiobooks when I run?

TIA for any advice

You're surely not leaving home without some sort of phone???

Sony Walkman? Second hand iPod from CEX or Music Magpie?

I have a Sandisk MP3 player for running which I love. I really hate running with a phone, and the Sandisk is small enough to tuck in my bra in the summer when I don't have pockets. It is also incredibly robust

MP3 player from argos or similar for about £20?
Mine needs connecting to the computer to transfer downloaded stuff, or I can have the radio going.

SanDisk all the way here too

Loads of MP3 players on Argos etc.

Are you sure you don’t want to take your phone though?
