Hi, I'm Richard Chang and you're now looking at the IFP895 by iRiver. Now, if you're looking for an MP3 to exercise with, this would be a very nice MP3 player. It does come with a 30-hour battery life with just a one AA battery. Its 512 megabytes, so you can stick up to 100 songs. And it has an FM tuner so you can listen to the radio, too, and a voice recorder in case you want to record other voices in the gym. But, personally, I do not recommend this $100 MP3 player. I recommend the predecessor, the IFP140. It's a smaller model, it has 64 Megs, and it is a big decrease in size. It does not have any FM tuner, and its still lasts about 20 hours with one AA battery. Now, the reason why I recommend this one over the IFP895 is, this is $80 cheaper. Now, though there's less features, the reason why I think this is a better buy is 'cuz you're working out at the gym, you don't work out for more than one to two hours. And with this MP3 player, you can stick about 20 songs, 20 to 25 songs with the right byte rate. And when I mean byte rate, it's changing the byte rate of the MP3 so the file size becomes smaller, and you can only do that with the proper software. The difference also is that this is a bigger, bulkier, the IFP is bigger and bulkier, and has a joy stuck that sticks out more. So in case you're running and you accidentally press it too fast, it's easy to break than the one on the IFP140. So, if you're looking for an MP3 player to jog with or exercise with, I think to go, look on the internet for the IFP140, 'cuz you can see them probably for about $19.99 in regular online stores. And this is Richard Chang.
