The Bottom Line	The Apple iPod Shuffle is an adorable way to take your favorite songs on the go, but sometimes it's too small for its own good.	SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym.	The seventh-generation iPod Nano is an incredibly compact portable media player with gym-friendly features, but it's overshadowed by the superior value of Apple's iPod Shuffle and fourth-generation iPod Touch.	The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is an excellent successor to the line, offering a fitness-friendly design with a built-in belt-clip, a simple interface, solid sound quality, and plenty of handy features--all for an ultralow price. It's an unbeatable value.	If you're looking for a sweat-resistant, all-in-one solution for rocking out at the gym, the Sony W-Series Walkman will provide just that.
