MP3 player for running - Recommendations please.

[Master Skooter]

Hiya

I'm thinking of buying an MP3 player for my wife for when she runs.

A guy at work recommends the iPod Nano & the Nike running kit thing, which does sound perfect.

However at £99 for the iPod & £20 for the running kit, is there a cheaper alternative?

To my wife an MP3 player is an MP3 player, as long as it plays music I don't think she'd really care. But as it's an anniversary gift (and she's booked a weekend away for us - she doesn't know that I know!), I'm thinking that maybe I should spend the extra?

Any runners on here that can recommend a player please?

Also would I need to look at buying an arm strap or additional headphones?

Cheers
Scott

Thanks for the suggestions.

The Sansa Clip sounds great, good price too....but which colour?

Black looks smart, blue goes with the screen & red's my wife's favourite colour (but admittedly rather bright).
