Cheap MP3 player for Rowing Machine

I'm looking for a cheap MP3 player that I can use while on the ergonometer (i.e one that I can wear around my neck). About two years ago I bought one from LondonTech and it became unplayable after a month (the headphone socket became damaged) and I don't want to go down that route again. The criteria are:

  • 1 GB or better capaicty
  • Under $100
  • Must be able to hang it from my neck
  • PC compatible (I don't have a Mac nor do I intend to)
  • Shock protection
  • Reasonable product life span (esp in terms of the socket)
 

you didnt row in college and you're gonna start doing the erg? wow thats admirable, i rowed in college and everytime i see the erg, i get bad memories

either way, my vote is for the ipod shuffle

 

Get a shuffle. No moving parts means you can beat it around pretty hard and it won't break.

I've been using mine almost every day at the gym for a year and a half and have had no problems.
