I have never listened to anything other than whatever the gym is playing, but I bought an ipod shuffle this past weekend.  I'm going to give it a go.

i find myself sitting around too much if i dont have any music to listen to because i lose track of time, where with the music going i can pretty much guess how long ive been doing an exercise, or resting between sets, etc.

And also at my gym too many people talk because theres no speakers or any music at my gym.

Don't need an mp3 player since I determine what's played in the gym. :)

Headphones suck.
Big speakers blasting my favorite songs would def. be a motivation booster.

An ipod can be a pain in the ass on leg day.

Quite agree - there's always music playing in our gym but I wouldn't complain if there was complete silence - I never really seem to notice the music playing much anyway.

If I was doing cardio though it would be a different story - it's too boring not to have an IPOD on.
