I want a basic mp3 / ipod music player thingy for running and the gym? Which are best?

[Meglet]

I don't need one that can hold too many songs, it will only be used at the gym or running so it has to be small.

I was looking at MP3's in Argos for £10, but I suppose they might be annoyingly crap. Is it worth splashing out £45 on a Ipod shuffle (although they're so small I might lose it ) or just going for the cheaper £30 samsung / sony MP3's?
TIA

I dont know about the others, but I find my shuffle is perfect for what you want You wont lose it, it'll either be in an inner pocket of your handbag/gym bag, or clipped to your top!

Its worth the extra for a shuffle.

Dd had this one for her birthday in Oct and it's been very good. Not sure if it shuffles but it does have a radio which is a nice to have feature.

These are very good.
