I got a MDS-JE510 which has NEVER had any problems, it plays
on and on without any hint of the "known 510 bugs" Those bugs
were allmost all related to the Malaysian units. I got the European
model which was made in Japan and it is absolutely trouble free.
Those Malaysian units take down the whole 510 range allso the
perfect ones...

That's about the only pre on MP3, that it is shockproof, but I think
that the modern MD units with 40 secs or more memory will hardly
ever skip...
And one other strange thing.... Look at the battery life.... some MD
units play for as long as 50 hours on a rechargeable cell... Most of
the MP3 units will not even make it to 20 hours and they got no
moving parts in them at all....
