I don't know where to find this information, but try to read up on how other people use theri minis or jukeboxes. If you're into somewhat active sports, this might have an impact on a hard drive player. I have an iRiver mp3 player and its light weight and solid state memory are its best assets. However, it doesn't hold as many songs as it could. If you're going to use the mp3 player mainly for active sports as opposed to train/bus commutes, etc, I'd suggest going for a solid state player. They're smaller, lighter, and (although this might not be an issue) there's no hard drive to shake around. Apple probably built their ipods w/ a skip-buffer and the hard drives should be shock-proof so it's probably not an issue. Weight... there's an issue. I don't know how strapping an ipod mini to your arm will feel while you're working out but it might be an inconvenience.
That's just my 2 cents.
