I've been running for years with a Nano, but it's breaking down so need to replace soon. With the Nano, I use the arm-band. But I notice the new Shuffle is a tiny clip-on device. Have any of you guys used it to run? Does it wear comfotably? Where? On your running-short waist band? Or do you just carry it in your hand?

My girlfriend has one and she just clips it to her shirt. That thing is so tiny you would barely notice it hanging there.

I have the shuffle. Love it. I wear it on my waist band and feed the headphone wire up through my shirt. No wire flappage that way. The thing is so small and light I don't even know it's there.

I have an H2O Audio band that I wear around my waist thats designed for the shuffle. You can use it for swimming, biking, running, its pretty handy.

Clip it to the brim of my hat or visor.

+1 This is how I have been wearing mine for a year now, love it!

I have a shuffle, and i clip it on the pocket of my shorts, or on the zipper of my coat/vest and run the cord inside, since i usually have a leash in hand as well. i found that when i clip it on the waist band, i wind up with two raw spots from the corners. i did this a few times before i learned not to.

I clip mine to the side of my shorts - and sometimes thread the wire up my shirt, but not always, because on the side of the short ear wire, it doesn't flap that much.

To tri or not to tri - that's not a question at all!

+1 as well.

This works great, though I have found the metal rubs the skin a little raw on a longer run. On those I tuck a little of the shirt in where I place the shuffle as a little barrier. Makes me feel a little like Wayne Gretzky (he used to tuck in a corner of his jersey so it didn't get in his way)!

The shuffle is wonderful for running. Enjoy!

I love my shuffle. I clip it to my shorts...I would, however, suggest that you put your headphone wires through your shirt. Sometimes when I run my arm gets caught in the wire and I unplug it. But then again I am also a huge nerd.

I sweat too much so I haven't been brave enough to clip it to my clothing. Instead I bought a waterproof case for my shuffle. http://www.h2oaudio.com/waterproof.php

Now I don't have to worry about rain or sweat. It has a clip on it so I just clip it to the elastic band on my shorts. It also comes with an arm band if you want to wear it on your arm.

I really like that, but $79.
