i bought a freestyle one a few years ago. the ear buds it came with lost sound in one ear after about 10 swims. it didnt have a screen and it jumbled the mp3s you put on it into any order it felt like (making audiobooks an impossibility) the buttons were a pain to push... then when you managed to push the right one you sometimes skipped the next couple tracks or just turned the thing off alltogether (comes from having one button do multiple things) on top of all that the armband was annoying and the mp3 player itself floated like a ping pong ball. you can tell i liked it

I recommend the SwimP3 as well. Mine was great, and the new ones are compatible with iTunes. If you get one, make sure the USB plug is completely dry before plugging into computer, though. I fried mine.

I have a SwiMP3 from Finis, which utilizes bone conduction for sound instead of earplugs. I have been using it for several months and love it.

Thanks a lot! I will check out the SwiMP3 from Finis. :-) I agree - Swim MP3. But, you will probably find that you get bored with it (or any other one) in a couple of months, or at least I did.
