Water resistant MP3 players?

[ceyko]

Anyone have any recommendations on water resistant MP3 players? I don't really need waterproof - as in submersible. We've been using the Sansa Clip+ and we love them. I lost one because of too much sweat killing it and my wife just lost one at the half marathon last weekend (rain).

We'd like...

2-4 GB capacity (1GB minimum)
Lightweight
Prefer clip, but if needed arm band will work
Work with Rhapsody (not a requirement, but we like that service)
Easy to manipulate controls
...and of course a decent battery life.

Googled and really did not see much in the regard. A little surprising, since I'm sure we're not the only ones losing MP3 players to moisture/water.

Thank you

Haven't used these guys so I cannot attest to their quality, ... http://www.swimpodusa.co/home/ And there is another company waterproofs your current ipod or mp3 player

Zip Lock made my wife's iPhone water proof for the race! ;o)

Interesting, but a little pricey. Although it maybe an option. The wife specifically wants a clip since she says the arm bands end up making her too sore after awhile. I'll check into waterproofing existing mp3 players. Would seem doable at home if I can figure that out. Thanks.

Yeah, for one time use I had thought about that - but still condensation will get in there and probably not good long term.
