When you say "Walkman", I assume you're talking about a CD player?
I did say Discman, Sony's particular walkabout CD player.
tried that also and the skipping was so bad I couldn't enjoy the discs.
This particular one has a switch-selectable read-ahead buffer that
dramatically improves its shock resistance. Presumably it was
switchable because either they didn't entirely trust it, or it
cuts battery life. It takes a pretty heinous bump to faze it.
I think I did OK for $5!
hope a iPod or MP3 player will be a lot more stable. Do you have any
experience with either of those?
My wife bought a friend's iPod, but I have no experience with it.
She bought it to record rehearsal sessions. (It has a clip-on
recorder. She got the works for $100 from a friend who was
upgrading.) She's only just now getting around to trying it out.
