What is the best mp3 player that I can buy (with best attachment) so that i can listen to both audiobooks and music on my commute to and from work?

    Lets not go there with the safety arguments please, we've heard it all before.

    OFC everyone is entitled to their opinion i can only go on my experiences, round here i am the only "pacey? " commuter i ever see, the rest ride on foot paths so drivers do not look out for you .

    Without hearing and constant shoulder looks to let drivers know you can see them it can be very dicey.
    If you have a nicer commute and feel safe to do so go for it

    One that if dropped and smashed won't make you cry or break the bank to replace.

    If I ever do use one it's for one ear as I need to hear traffic!

    Old iPod shuffle, the one with the clip that has controls on.

    Sorry if we got confused i was aiming the reply at another poster who decided to use pictures of dogs rather than trying to put forward a coherent sentence .

    only a bit muffled tho :wink: (joke honest - couldn't resist)

    you will be sure to jump in next time someone on here is naive enough to suggest a helmet might have saved them from getting hurt and the wolves start to circle.
