just curious how people stow the cords for your gear while joging, walking, at work wherever you use any DAP on the go.

for me, I haven't been able to find a place for the remote that works well. I can't see putting the player in my pants pocket cause I sit down alot or push heavy stufff around with my hip or thigh in construction sites or back at the shop.

so, right now, I keep the player in my shirt pocket, run the headphone cord out a hole in that pocket into my shirt where it goes under my arm, up my back and the phones hang over my shoulders. I can flip the phones inside my shirt coller when Im not listening and the whole thing virtually disapears.

I'd like to run a remote, but really, just to get the radio function. so I was thinking I might get a separate pocket radio for that and just put the MD player in my toolbox while I listen to the senate hearings on NPR.

wearing $400+ in audio gear in an industrial setting is dangerious. I can't have my cords snag on stuff ir the player get smashed up agenst my body.

anyway, how do you guys work it ?

I've got a set of powered Fisher speakers, just run the MD or CD into the speaker, turn the volume up and Bob's your uncle!!!

For more normal walking etc, I've got a couple of belt holster's clip the remote to my shirt, and again Bob's your uncle

yeah, I figured most users don't need to keep their cords hidden or protected from snaging on stuff as much as I do, but even if you don't work in a dangerious enviornment, having a spagetti mess all over you dosn't look all that cool...I plug mine into a stereo at home too, but when I'm using it as a wlakman, I like to keep it under controll.

I was curious if anyone's cut holes inside their coat/shirt pockets for routing cords.

I myself use a Case Logic Belt Pack to keep my unit and extra discs/accessories, etc. in, and like to keep the remote cord under my shirt and simply use the short cord (0.5m) on either of my Sony JE Version headphones I own in my lineup (N.U.D.E EX Series [EX71SL, 85SL or 90SL] or Altus Series [D777SL or NC60] from Japan).

I always like to go out of my way the get Japan Edition (JE Version) of these phones because of their exclusive shorter (0.5m cords with 1.0m extension) cords as opposed to the U.S. versions (1.2m/1.5m cords) like at Best Buy or Circuit City which have inappropriately (for Walkman use) long cords.
