Sony disc players are know for skipping the least.

The mini-disc player is made in Japan at the main Sony plant.

A great place to purchase a mini disc player at a cheap sale price is at techland. They do great deals on Sony mini disc players. There are several makes and models for sale on Amazon but are a little higher in price than the first.

As Sony, the brand responsible for the birth of the mini disc, has discontinued production of mini disc players, the most likely place to purchase one would be on Amazon or E-bay. This is not to say you might not find one or two by placing an advertisement on Craigslist, etcetera.

Try the Sony Walkman MZ-R91 Personal MiniDisc Player since it claims to have the worlds longest lasting battery life.
