definitly minidisc... i have one thats about 5 yrs old. and it works perfectly. is still smaller and lighter than the ipod. and of course, my number one priority (after quality) battery lasts forever. mine lasts 56 hours on a full charge and the newer models easily pass 100 hrs of continuous play. sure there are cheap unreliable MD players, but mine is sweet. it never skips. has like 40second antiskip memory thing. and the whole thing is made of magnesium. or a mixture of magnesium and sumthing. so thats part of the reason its so light and durable. AND no worries about the plastic surface *cough* ipod *cough* getting all scrathed up.
