Hi there, I think it really depends on what kind of environment your MD player is in. It seems that MD players will hardly ever skip if you don't let them bounce around. Use one of those bags that wrap around your waist, hold it in your hand (that's where hand straps come in handy), and so on. Some of my pants (not cargo) have pockets that are about the size of six MDs lined up in three rows. If I walk with a MD player in one of these pockets, every single unit skips, there are no exceptions. Newer models seem to recover faster from skips, too. On my Panasonic MJ75, the sound usually doesn't break up when it skips. It's only as if the player's "missed a beat". My Kenwood K5, even with its 40-second buffer, doesn't skip less than the MJ75. A friend's JVC XM-PJ1 goes into a downward spiral once it skips - doesn't recover even when I stopped walking. hope this helps, Leon >> Okay... I'm very concerned with it... I like mp3 players because they >> odn't skip and wha tboaut these.. The faq said MD players rarely >> skip.. Is it true then?? What about batteries and how long they >> last..?? I jog and jump and do alot of action... ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
