what kind portable player do you use? All i have is a portable cd player (and it annoys the fuck out of me). I might get either an ipod, or one of those 1 gb minidisc players - i havent decided yet. Does anyone know how good the md's atrac3 format is? i dont want to listen to no wma-esque background noise fest :\ |

I use a fairly simple USB pendrive MP3 player, 256 MB....bought it for €98 incl. shipping and handling. Does the trick for me I think. .About 30 tracks fit on it on average. |

haha!, you saw that movie (posted here months ago) too didn't you? personally I find the iPods MEGA expensive. I'd suggest you buy a Creative Muvo2 1,5 GB (€229 on ). The 4 GB version is €3xx |

i'm still very happy with my phillips discman, although i am looking for one that plays mp3 discs as well. expanium maybe. or, if they get radically cheaper, a minidisc. |

philips discman, almost 4 years...i know every little secret of it i dont know whats so good about minidisc's, its stupid, the quality recoreds are the same at minidisc and mp3, so why buying minidisk, especially when you cant record more than 90min. of sounds. the best i think are HD portable players, 20GB should be enough for every journey i think |

i got a cheap basic CD player and an sony MD, i use the cheap player more becouse it can play mp3 albums, wich is really nice! it's nice to have 800mb of mp3 instead of a regular audio cd. |

Crappy philips discman. iPods are for wusses :P |
||||||||
|

|
|
now i have to choose between the 1 gig MD or the ipod.. ipod: 20 gig in your pocket looks cool (battery?...) md: can record things possibly a bit cheaper |
||||||||

i have the old md, the net md (but i dont use it for mp3 transfer cause my com sux right now) and i wait for 1gb md and maybe same memory mp3 stick , just cause i can have instant wavs in usb device. i liek to record outside more than to listen. but in cars and trains it's important...with the soundbug ! |

i have a philips mp3 cd player and just got an oldskool sony md recorder.. its pretty useful being able to store my entire mp3 collection in one cd wallet but with the md recorder its made me remeber how fun mixtapes are! so they both have advantages.. or something |

what are the 1gig minidisc players? my understanding is that minidiscs only hold 160Meg and to get a decent amount of music on one you have to use loads of lossy compression. on that basis, any 256 or greater flash-based mp3 player should be much better than a discman because there's no moving parts (hence longer battery life) and more storage space. there are plently of flash-based mp3 players that can record too personally I have a 20gig Archos Jukebox FM Recorder (£220, 20Gig, records audio, has FM tuner also, no copying restrictions) and a 512Mb Creative Muvo2 x-trainer (£170, 0.5Gig, rechargable battery, no moving parts so no skipping ever, no copying restrictions) |

hmmm just been looking at the hi-md minidiscs... they do sound quite good. ultimately though, I think removable media are becoming more and more redundant. hard-drive and flash players are the way forwards. sealed units, fewer moving parts, etc. |
