I really dont like burning CDs, but I have no other means of playing mp3 on the go.
However...that all will soon change when I get my Ipod this Christmas...YAY!!!!
Heh, I still buy music CDs regardless of MP3s, as well.Quote:

I'm looking to buy an Apple Ipod. The size of an MP3 player, 20 gig harddrive, and I hear it can store and play back uncompressed .wav files.
My current music player, an mp3 puppy, is about half the size of a MD player and internally holds enough music for me to hear walking to and from work without repeats (more if I decrease the bitrate). Plus I got mine for about $30.If I used burnable CDs, my amount of mix CDs would be insane.Quote:
CD3s are dirt cheap so you can burn as many as you want. You can put a band's entire catalogue on one CD and not worry about it. You don't have to be stuck with 64/128MB and have to upload/download from your PC all the time...
What's the cheapest mp3 player I can get? I need a way to play just one or two songs without having to burn a CD or carry around a relatively large CD player. Every time I look to buy one, a bunch of expensive crap that I would never use is all that I see.
Yes! Exactly what I'm looking for. What brand/model is it or where did you get it?Quote:

I'm thinking about getting an iPod but it's WAY too expensive for me right now. I currently use a MP3-CD player by Memorex. It has its drawbacks but it serves its purpose of playing MP3's... the CD3 sounds nice but I want to be able to toss MP3's into an MP3 player without needing to burn CD after CD... which is one reason why I'm not using my current MP3-CD player more than I should be...
ive got a TDK Mojo CD-MP3 player. its very nice, but i think i paid too much for it.
still, nothing beats those iPods.... *drool*
Well, you can also use mini CDRWs and you can make them using UDF style burning. For those that don't know, that means you can simply drag and drop the files to the CD within Windows. :)Quote:

As for the iPod and other hard drive based players, I personally feel that it's overkill. I can fit over 70 songs on one mini CD and that's more than enough to have at one time on a tiny disc. I enjoy making mixes too, and it's hard enough trying to organise that many songs to begin with. Any more than that at one time would drive me crazy. That's just me though. ;)
I have a Rio Volt CD MP3 player, and i dont mind burning cds, so its just dandy for moi. I mainly use it at work too, so battery life isnt a concern (it came with a power outlet adapter thingy). I just plop the cd in in the morning and press play, then turn it off when i go home. I can even leave the cd in the player and come back then next day, having not even come close to finishing the cd. Its awesome. My brother on the other hand is looking for something small and easy to use. But I cant point him to anything around here, as Canada sucks for electronics stores. We have Futureshop and more recently Best Buy and thats IT.
Overkill? I'll use those 20 gigs up. An uncompressed song takes about 10 megs for every minute of music (650 megs / 72 min). Again, I'm not interested in any kind of compression at all. I'm going to need all the storage space I can get.Quote:
