"Walkman..."

I need to get myself a proper walkman - reasonable priced - as in a price that will allow me to be able to take it to high school with me with out any worries of it being destroyed. I'd prefer it to be a CD-Player, but a minidisc player is fine. please bear in mind that i desperately want the mega-bass thingy, with the wierd connection. y'know. a row of pins.

meh.

oh, and money is no object, but i wouldn't take a 250 quid player to school, now would i?

i dont know what CD player you tried, but my CD player is only a basic sony one, and it shows no sign of skip at all, wether im walking or running.

but what of my brand new sony headphones that i made such a fuss about? first shop i tried i ordered, but were out of stock, 2nd shop was amazon, amazingly long wait time for stock, and third shop had them. I have no idea wether NAPA players will exactly support them fully.

Mp3 player's have no moving components at all. Nice fresh digital quality music on the move. All would work with your headphones aswell.

You'd be wasting your money mate - A CD player at £75 is shockingly overpriced.

Save up for a 128mb MP3 player or an iPod mate.

I actually don't rate Sony that highly. £2000 on a hifi and you would think it would at least work.

Zen (for WMA) /Ipod

Both equally fantabuolastic, but a bit pricey.

Harah.

i'm going to go with my gut feeling and choose the player i mentioned earlier...

first off, i'd prefer it from a name that i KNOW my brand new and not-too-cheap headphones will be entirely compatible with - SONY. Also, my CD player won't skip either, as it has G-protection, which is the norm throughout SONY's stuff nowadays. basically, it'll take all the punishment it can take, and at the end it takes a second to catch it's breath, and it's normal again. basically, only if you are doing cigourous tumbling on hard surfaces will the Player skip.
