Resolved Question: Best mp3 player for running/the gym?

Bascially I need a good mp3 player for the gym that I can clip onto my clothing as I am not keen on arm bands.
I already have a ipod classic and ipod shuffle.
I have an arm band for the classic but its too big and the battery life is non existent these days.
The shuffle annoys me just because of the last few times I've managed to wipe all my music off when I charge it due to not keeping the itunes library with the same songs.
Is the ipod shuffle the best option, what else is available? (i need around 1gb)

Thanks
