can this mp3 player be used for dry land workouts, specifically: running?

Yep, just use the regular earbuds provided or your own pair of regular headphones.

Yeah I wouldn't see why not. I've used mine at the gym running on the tread mill. I've also used it in the shower, steam room, sauna, and swimming in a pool with no problems at all.

Yes, anything you can do with a regular iPod you can do with these waterproof iPods. Lots of our customers love using these for running because of how small and easy they are to take with you!-Underwater Audio Customer Service

Did you ever find an answer to your running and podast proble,? I also have the same problem. Can't find anything small enough to run with but can still carry my podcasts.

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

not sure - but I will tell you I was very disappointed with this device and used it only a short time before I had to buy a different MP3 player...

I've not been able to do that, John. I only use the MP3 player at the gym, as a cover for my creaking joints, so I rarely need to skip through parts of a song.

Hello. U can transfer mp3 flies to it. The computer handles it as a flash drive. Perfect for gym or outdoor activities

I do not think so. This is mainly an MP3 player for swimming. I would check but I keep it at the gym where I swim. Did you check the web site to see?

It is a terrible mp3 for anything except swimming. And still not even good for that. There are a lot better mp3 players for the money if you will only be using it for running. Get a cheap waist pedometer and a sanza mp3 player. I could never get the pedometer to work right. Controls are terrible. I sent mine back it was so bad. And I am a technology nerd.

Yes. However it only worked a limited amount of times before it died. I think in my case I used it for running and it was not sweat proof.

It is longer than I would like, but I always run the cord down behind me instead of in front so it's not a problem for running. I clip a ipod shuffle to the hem of my shirt on the left side and go. No problem. I never use headphones for weight workouts, so I don't know if I'd have the same experience then.

I don't know. I have not tried that. I only drop and drag mp3 files to my player....Have not tried it with anything else.

Did it workout for you.Also, if I use this producy, will I have 2GB on top of the 2GB already in the player? Or is this for one set of songs and the one in the player another set?

Hi Michelle! I bought this to use when I went jogging. I found the performance to be poor. I had much better luck buying an ancient 16G and although it is bulkier, I am much happier with it. Yes, even the 16G speaks to current Apple software. I thought the size and capability of the shuffle were what I wanted, but I was disappointed. Hope this helps.

Did not use it for running ,I used it during fishing and it goes on my belt loop.The shuffle feature worked fine even when I had to cross the lake in ruff water.

You can use normal headphones in it if you want to go running with it. It doesnt have any screwing motion, you just shove the jack in, its a kind of tight fit, but I figure its that way to keep the water tight seal.

Yes. Beware though. I have found that mp3s that are recorded at a higher than average (above 128k) tend to cause this player to skip through the songs about every 3ish seconds.
