portable mp3 The other day was a momentous occasion for me because I FINALLY purchased a portable mp3 player. Although I had wanted a portable mp3 player for some time now, and I see everyone else enjoying them, I just hadn't yet gotten around to finding my very own. Now that I have, I absolutely love it. I can load tons of my favorite songs and listen to them whenever I want. When I go to the gym, I used to either rely on the sound system there (big mistake) or bring my own small, clip-on radio. The problem with the radio is that not all of my favorite stations come in clearly, and I have to listen to all those annoying commercials. It really disrupted the flow of my workout. Plus, I have no control over the radio station playlist. If I don't like a song, my only option is to try another station. Now that I've replaced the radio with my portable mp3 player, the difference is incredible. I can listen to all the songs I want to hear with no static and zero commercials. Lately it seems I can't wait to get to the gym just so I can use my portable mp3 player!
