I still use a dedicated mp3 player for outdoor activities (running, MTB'ing) and lifting weights. Why? Well, my little mp3 player is both smaller and lighter than my phone and - more to the point - much cheaper to replace. If I drop a weight plate on my mp3 player, or crash my MTB and destroy the mp3 player in the process, I'm out a lot less - in terms of both money and general aggravation - as compared to destroying my phone in a similar manner. I also still have a preference for 1/8" headphone jacks for connecting headphones to devices.
