I need an MP3 player for the gym and for running.

I don't want an IPOD.

I don't need it to make phone calls, or receive FM, or play videos, or chop vegetables, just play music.

Don't want to spend a lot either.

I miss my 64MB Creative Labs RIO :)  It was so simple.  But 64MB is too small these days.  A catalog would be nice, but only if I can manage it on my PC and its very easy to navigate from the MP3 player.  All I really need is on/off, play, and skip to next song.  Simple is good.

Can anyone recommend a very small unit for such purposes?

Try some of the Sandisk players - I've had good luck with them.

Shoot.  Those look great but I guess I should have said its needs to be compatible with Win2k -- i'm still in the dark ages over here, Media Player 9.0 and Win2k.

I have a Creative Labs Zen 1GB for almost 3 years.  It has been through the washing machine, several TDYs and countless PT sessions.  Still works great.  Maybe look at the new Creative Stone.  1GB players are cheap now.

I have a creative zen photo
if I had to do it over I would have waited another couple of months and waited for one of the video capable ones to go on sale
