Best Portable Sound

Looking for the best portable sound for listening to my classical music collection. No compression, battery lasting 4 - 5 hours. Any thoughts on Apple's new iPod, Sony or Sharp's best minidisc players or a straight forward Walkman type player.

I have a minidisk deck and portables for about 5 years, and AFAIK they always compress audio, at least with ATRAC3 for 80min, which is yet tolerable, but it's still MP3-kind of... Don't really use them anymore... IPOD might be the best, I don't know if its DAC any better then in a good portable CDPs. However, you at least eliminate poor optical reading mechanism of portables, so assuming you've done very good audio extraction, you can get some better quality.

About the Gaps. Try to go into Preferences in iTunes. Under Importing you can adjust the gap between songs. If you set it to No Gap it records the CD just the way it sounds. This should work. Let me know!

How about that ultra-sweet-awesome backpack boombox they have at sears? Its the ultimate in portable audio, everyone will like you! suddenly velvet ropes will part, your appointment book will be full, opportunities will arise, doors will open, and you will get a new sence of self worth.

either that or people will label you as a "Tool" and you will feel like an idiot.

hahahahhahaha

why not just go buy a good walkman and good set of headphones?
