KR: Ok - u find them inconvenient? I can dig that - I, at times, feel the same way.
BUT.
Don't say yuck about their looks - I mean, that new NetMD portable MD completely blows away ANY PCDP in looks.....

the yuck wasn't meant for their looks, but the format. I don't like anything that uses lousy compression.
oh well, the quest still goes on for a nice sounding portable.

Well, MD doesn't use lousy compression -- it uses very good compression
Seriously, though, in a portable environment, I guarantee you won't be able to hear the difference.

KR, the new Panasonic SL-CTx80 players are not good because they don't have a line-out integrated into the headphone jack, let alone a separate line-out.

I checked one of those for a Mexican magazine. I liked the sound, but IMHO it goes way on the sides of your head, nothing in front. I'll rather get the Radioshack 3904 wich is ugly as hell, but the better sounding player I had the chance to check out, even better than my Panasonic Sl-SX500.
