I own a Rio SP250, which is the same thing as an iRiver, just rebranded. I like it, but getting a non-CD player would be so much easier as the mp3 CD players are VERY skippy. I can barely listen to my CD player anymore on a school day since it's so hard to keep it from skipping. However, I do like my in-dash mp3 CD car stereo (The kenwood KDC-MPV619). I bought both of these about 2.5 years ago. THe car stereo is still kicking (and I doubt it will break any time soon), however, considering how much use I got out of my CD player, I doubt it's going to last much longer (hence the need for a replacement).
As for MD, Sony is the only company that supports it anymore, and I don't trust anything sony, however, it may be viable as a cheap device to use for running (i'm rather afraid of running with a large HD mp3 player, and I have been actively searching for a flash mp3 player.)
What mp3 CD players have you been using? My iRiver slimX mp3 CD has never skipped, even on the bumpiest of car trips. Most mp3 CD players have much better anti-shock capabilities than standard portable CD players.
