You can directly correlate the abuse a portable to a laptop given to a soldier (ie. Bad). A personal laptop gets treated like eggs, also generally a laptop has enough mass around it to give slightly more protection. A MP3 portable doesn't benefit from this. Try running to a bus, jogging, mount

I've got a JB940 at home and I have yet to use the LP functionality. I've always read that MP3 doesn't sound as good as the original, I'm no audiophile but I like to know the music I listen to is the best reproduction I can get on my system, so I'm not into MP3 for that reason. After years of
