We've come a long way from strapping clunky, skip-prone CD players to our waists. Pint-size portable music players now keep us company on our runs, storing audiobooks, podcasts, and hours of music. They have enough memory for you to take a French lesson, listen to Car Talk, and jam to your motivational mix during a long training run. While hundreds of digital devices crowd the shelves, these six petite
players cram the most features into the smallest bodies while still lasting as long as you do (sometimes longer).
