Larry,
YOu can pick up cheap(way less than $100) portable CD players with an
anti-shock/skip feature that prevents that annoying problem. I've seen them
as low as 29 bucks at Wally World.

Hi Jim,
When you say "Walkman", I assume you're talking about a CD player? I
tried that also and the skipping was so bad I couldn't enjoy the discs. I
hope a iPod or MP3 player will be a lot more stable. Do you have any
experience with either of those? This will be my 1st experience with an
MP3
or iPod player. Actually I'm not positive about how they work - I
assume
they have a harddrive where music, data & voice is stored? Is that close?
Will a MP or iPod be more stable than a CD player?
TIA -

Those little "cassette tape with a wire" things work really well for
that,
are dirt cheap, and no mods needed.
That's what I have now. The entire system: Sony discman, cassette
adapter, car, and home power adapters was $5 at the thrift store,
and all works. I love surfing the trailing edge!
But the system is awkward with all the cables, the Alpine makes
a lot of transport noise, and the audio path is easily overdriven
into distortion. Something a bit more integrated would be a nice
solution, but probably will never happen.
