with a mp3 player, are you actually going to be listening to the 340 hours of music? And the battery life is far from the length of the disc. DO you want a huge hard disk that weighs 400g and doesn't even fit in you're pocket?:conf: :conf: :conf: |
My RioVolt has a battery live of approx. 15 hours. At high quality, a cd holds about 12 hours of MP3s. And as to 340 hours of music... well, it's about 12, and I usually stick in a cd full of trance singles or whatnot, and then put it on random playmode. It's like having a little personal radio station in my pocket, but the music doesn't suck. |

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. :D
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? |
|
|
| {b.s.e.} |
...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. |

| 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. |
