What you get with at least the larger iPods is an audio playback device 
whose electrical output is about as clean as a CD player, but that has  a 
low source impedance designed for driving headphones.  If you load it with

uncompressed audio files, it is the functional equivalent of a high
quality 
portable CD player.

IOW, an iPod or high quality competitive product.

Several of us enjoyed the use of the Nomad Jukebox 3, which was a logical 
predecessor of either the iPod or the Microtrack.

At this point I don't think that the professional utility and perhaps even

the professional stature of the Microtrack and competitive products are in

doubt by many.

Technically, the larger iPods are just Microtracks without the extensive 
facilities for location recording, but with a more user-friendly file 
system.
