You can try the Philips Expanium portable MP3/CD Player, It comes with the cassette adaptor for car stereo cassette players and the AC Car Adaptor, It can play mp3s encoded from 32k to 320k Including VBR, When I first bought mines last year, It was about 199.99, Its probably a lot cheaper by now cause I bought it at Circuit City, I like MP3/CD players cause you can burn a cd that holds 700MB of mp3s and you would have like 70 something tracks to listen to which is roughly about 10 hours of music or burn a cd with like 5 or 6 live mix mp3s that would come up to 700MB or under on the CD to listen to the live sets.

Yup, I've got a Lennox Power 1.

And I love this thing... Put on several live sets, or alot of singles. And play it all day long!!
I noticed it on vacation. We used normal cd's and mp3 cd's
With a normal cd someone has to change it every hour. and with a mp3 cd you don't have to...

And in the car it's great!! I've got a cassette adaptor and it works great. Listen to your music while driving.

My preference is for a mp3 discman. I tink it is better than a md-player.

Absolutely, Besides, MP3 CDs are easy to make as long as you have a good CD Burner and good software to burn them.

NetMD is software that allows you to burn mp3's upto 32x speed. So there is hope for the slow recording process of MD's.

^^^ explain about netmd? so is hte quality lower or anything? and 32x times faster? isnt that like 2 min for a full disk?

Posted by {b.s.e.} on Oct-17-2001 23:10:

let me get this straight?

...I can burn mp3s directly onto a cd, w/out converting them to a wav?
..or am I just misunderstanding you?

Heres the definition of NetMD " NetMD - noun ]
- The direct high speed (SP 2-4X / LP2 16X / LP4 30X) downloading and uploading between personal computers and MiniDisc equipment through USB connection. Since the data is digital copy, reproduction of two generations or more of the music data is prevented by the SCMS (the Serial Copy Management System). This feature can also record music in MDLP."

Heres a player that has this standard, now with NetMD you can see why the future looks even better for MD player/recorders.

hmmm maybe i can get that for christmas, it comes out in december. Have you bought from any place overseas? im thinking of mic-mic or hyperjack, but don't know if they're trusty.

Posted by Thor on Oct-18-2001 19:11:

I know hyper jack gets high praise, a lot of people have ordered from him. That website [ur]www.minidisct.com[/url] has loads of reviews of each retailer, I'd check those out first.

I just bought a creative labs NOMAD.

it's the size of a discman, but it has 6Gb of space! (there is a 20gb model out now too)

that's a lot of mp3s, I have about 25 live sets in there and I have hardly dented the capacity.

it also has an analog line in, so I can record mixed sets straight out of the DJ mixer, or out of my computer when I mix with that.

only thing is, the batteries only last about 4 hours.

also, sometimes it crashes on me.

Cooooooooooool d00d that's awesome , i was about to buy a nomad but then i prefered buying a CD Burner + Rio Volt

BUt dont you guys think the riovolt is sort of big and heavey? I really wish they made it thinner, forget that new radio feature, radio is full of crap like pop hip hop , pop rock, pop trance, pop everything.!!! AHHHHHHHH I am really leaning towards the riovolt since i wanted one when it first came out but never had a chance hear it. SO anyways how does it play regular cds for the people who have it. and what aoub the model 90 one opposed to the 100 one. is it just the remote? If so i'm just going to get the cheaper version.

Mini-Disc all the way....

i have a sony MZ-R70 recorder....i love the thing....MP3 players are inferior in every way...

MP3's...no editing (its the static ram)
no tileing...

dosn't sound as good...MD has better compression tecnology..and it only gets better..the new sony's have Mini-disc long play...5 full length CD's on 1 mini-disc...

and a mini-disc costs...4-5 bucks ( CND )
if you go to asia regularly..they are about a buck..

as apposed to the static ram cards used in MP3 players..which cost upwards of 230.00 and there only 64 MB's which will not even get you a whole CD...unless you go below 128/kbps (and why would you do that?)

MD is here to stay...sony are now activly premoting them on TV

the larger Mp3 players are cool..but BIG ( ya a six gig hard Drive is cool) but it was never ment to be carried around ( Hard drives are delicate at best...i would not want to chuck my bag arross my room with the juke box in it)

and CD players that read MP3 are neat too...but big...

as are the CD's them selves.... i usually carry 10 Mini-discs in my pant pocket...(without a pouch)if i wanted to i could carry alot more... and CD's Scratch easy....and not all CD-R's are reliable in the first place....if you buy a spindel..you will see 1 in 3 fuck up( but you buy them 100 at a time so no biggy)

also MD's are RE-WRITABLE...infact with the SONY Neige disc series(the clear ones) you can write over them 1 million times (no lie)

the averge MD starts to sound crappy after about 2 years of constant use....

so why go woth the MP3 player at all....

Mp3 was menat for your Computer...and nothing else...

Mp3 PRO is new and much better than mp3...but not alot of peeps support it yet...but you can get 128 kbps sound quality but at 64kbps..so the files are smaller...remember Mp3 is a COMPRESSION format...( cna't beat WAv. quality)

But if you record your MD from a good source you can do better than CD quality

and well OPTICAL recording is just cool!!!!

PLUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
