:?: That's it: can anybody recommend a suitable portable MD for jogging? I often try with my old Sony MZ-R900, but its G-protection does not seem enough...

Thank you in advance for any guidance!

I used the have the japanese version of the R-900 and I actually though it was the best for jogging. It never once skipped on me. Since then, I've had a Sharp DR-7 and a Sony MZ-R909 and those DID skip on me.

There may not be an easy solution for you. SOme factors in skipping.

1) hard surface make for more skipping. Grass is far less skip-inducing that running on roads.

2) holding the minidisc in your hand while you run, is better than having in your pocket- it shakes less

3) When you run with it in your hand, it helps to make smoother hand motions instead of really jerky ones - its better for your running form too!

4) if you have to put the minidisc in a pocket, a tight one is better than a loose one where it moves around more
