My first attempt to be able to take my favourite music with me was a
portable AKAI CD player. The problem is, the thing would suck 2 Alkaline
cells empty in roughly 2 hours - I guess these companies producing
high-end devices don't waste much thought on energy-efficiency. So being
left with a portable device that is not practically portable, my primary
requirement was: no moving parts.
Probably newer devices are much better at this (and I guess that with
the reduced bitrate the disc can spin slower). but it probably can't
match a flash-based device.
Cheers
