Can anyone recommend a good MP3 player for riding that is accessible with riding gloves on and wearable?

I use my Ipod, but i just select a playlist and let it play. I have no problems adjusting the volume though.

I have a Transcend player.

I like it a lot, but not sure how easy it is to use with gloves. I put it on shuffle, turn the key lock on (so no buttons are enabled in case they get bumped) and stick it in the inside pocket of my jacket. The controls are real easy, just the one stick. Push it in, up, down, left, or right. So yeah, you could use it no problem with gloves I think. Just not sure where I'd put it so I could get to it with gloves.

My I-pod did 5500 miles last year on one trip alone, worked great, hooked up a cig plug and charged it while camping
Love it, love it size, love how long it lasts and how many songs i can put on it
worked awsome

The iPod Shuffle's been perfect for me. The 1GB version holds more tunes than I can listen to on one charge (about 16 hours of battery life).

I have an iPod and I'm addicted to it. I haven't tried it while riding yet. I know that some states have laws against using headphones and driving. I would also get the earbud headphones with the remote on the cable, you can then change volume and songs while the iPod is in the pocket. I just don't know how well this remote will work with gloves. I think your going to have a hard time using any MP3 player with gloves because they are all built to be small.
