I'm transfering to a college in Charleston and I am going to be out walking around the city a lot. Can anyone give a recomendation on a good portable CD player and really good headphones to use with it? I'm planning on listening to Autechre, Amon Tobin, etc. |

Jump like hell? No they won't, I have a decent Sony one that works like a charm, never skipped once, even when I tripped over a brick once. I got smashed up... the CD didn't miss a beat. Don't buy anything too expensive, just something with anti-skip. And make it Sony... mine is called ESPMax D-E221 or something complex. Not too expensive, but it's been flawless, and tough. I treat it like shit and it never fails. |

I have a iRiver iMP-350, plays just about everything and sounds pretty good. Kind of prefer my old Rio 500 though because it's so small. |

make a bunch of tapes before you got and use a walkman always rock the walkman never rock discman |

I also recommend the Sony Discman (or walkman...whatever they're called now) line. They're coming down in price to very low levels in recent years. You can get a pretty decent player that can handle mp3 cds and everything w/ ESP for not a lot of $$. |

I have the Panasonic Shockwave with the VMSS sound system. I would get this one cause you get the cool rumbling feature -- headphones vibrate. but if you're going outside into the wind, the wind hinders the movement...you won't exactly feel the vibrations as much as if you're inside. The headphones lasted about a year / two years. I don't know what goes on with them. I had the Shockwave VMSS cassette player and the headphones went out after 1 or 2 years. Nice sound though. Had no troubles with it otherwise. |

Panasonic: you can't go wrong with a panasonic...i've had two and they've been nothing but problem-free, excellent pieces of equipment they are. |

I have a great panasonic one with a radio, and 40 second anti-skip protection or whatever... it never ever skips, and is solid as a rock... the batteries last forever too!! |

if you decide you want a cd player with mp3 cd capabilities you've really got to ask yourself this: are you going to be listening to alot of mp3 cds, and can you afford the extra batteries? on my sony one, mp3 cd's, all though they can hold shit loads of music, take away about 4 or so hours from the battery life |

Most mp3 players come with rechargeable batteries. Screw cds's. They just get scratched up. I'd rather have an mp3 or minidisc player... |

my answer to you is what electro said sony mini-disc I've got a component shelf system that allows me to tape cd to mini-disc. then I've got a mz-e900 md lp (portable)extremely small. its never skipped once I can record 4 albums on to one mini-disc with my component system. the portable player comes with two nickel rechargeable batteries. I can't remember the battery life but this player has a long life. in fact I've never had it run out while I've been listening to it. it comes with a plug in deal that recharges your batteries. thus I will never need to buy batteries which saves $$$. words cannot express how happy I'm with it. also go with the koss ear BUDs style headphones. bass is deep. minimal noise escapes the headphones so you won't be bothering anyone near you. the funny thing is that there cheap to. I've always had good experiences with koss headphones. of course if you don't have the money to get a component system that records cd to md then you'll need to look into a personal md player that can be linked with a system to record mds. I always listen to ae, polygon window, and proem by the way so go for it. good luck |

I have a Sony CD Walkman and it doesn't jump. I don't even have to use the anti-skip function. I had one about 5 years ago but took it back coz it jumped loads. But things have moved on now and they've got it down. With Minidisc players you have to tape stuff from CD and that's a pain in the arse. |

I've got a Phillips 303 MP3CD player and it's great...no skipping, great sound & all a good price as well...around 100 quid (including car kit, mains charger etc..)...Battery Life is around 10 hrs... They do a slightly different model for just 50...without the car kit & extras... Much prefer this to a MD... |

Get a portable MP3 CD player. Really worth it as it eliminates the problem of carrying other CDs around with you. As for headphones, sennheiser have some nice internal "street headphones" for about £20 which are really good for the price. |
