My new MP3 player

Hi all, I've just got a new CD MP3 player.
120 second antishock, comes with rechargable batteries and
charger. V. good value, great sound quality.
They're in Maplins for £50 (£47.50 with NUS card!) and I
thoroughly recommend getting one to anyone with access to a
CD burner.

I gotta get one. I was thinking about getting a mobile with
mp3 but they too expensive. My tape walkman still does the
trick though! Old Skool Analogue!

CD-MP3-players is a good solution if you want portable
mp3's. cheap and easy to use

It's a Lenoxx one, can't remember the model name (doesn't
say on the actual player!). I'm listening to leftfield on
mine at the moment.

Bizarrely the CD case I bought at the same time, an
"audiofile" (nice pun) one,
has a label saying AFXtm on the inside!

Yeah, I was considering getting a 10GB HD one, but 700mb is
enough for a weeks worth of music and at a 1/4 of the price
it's a far better choice imo. The only reason I can really
see for getting a HD one is if you don't have regular access
to a CD burner...

Ah nice, I want a mp3 player!

And seeing that I do have access to a CD-burner, I'm
seriously considering a CD based MP3 Player. :)

Although I've heard aload of myths. :S

What kinda myths? Some I've seen were rubbish with little or
no anti-shock, but the one I got is great (so far- maybe
it'll blow up next week).

Myths like:
* There really slow scrolling thru the tracks, directories
and forward/previous tracking.
* That they crash! and you have to turn it off or
something.

I've been just told to try and get a "Creative" one, cause
there more stable or something.

Hmm.. you havent got a link or something do ya? or could you
possibly remember the model name of yours? :)

Mine takes about 15-20 seconds when you first turn it on to
scan the directores etc. but after that directory/track
skipping is really quick. Just like changing tracks on a CD
player.

I'm off for a week, but email me and I'll send you details
(model, company URL etc.) when I get back.

Hmm... Slap a CD in, it scans all the directories and its
sub-directories... that isnt a hassle. :)

I'm gonna do a bit of shopping soon :)

How is it with long filenames of mp3s?
It aint gonna look pretty having
BOARDS_OF~1.mp3
BOARDS_OF~2.mp3 etc.... :S

Ahh yeah, that's the one bad point- even though it has a
backlit screen tracks/directories only appear as numbers.
This isn't as bad as it sounds esp. if you put whole albums
on the CD...

Still, I use a empty roll of 25 CD-R's to hold my MP3 CDs.
So I have a fair amount of Gig of Mp3s that I can take with
me! I know what I put on them, so it'll be fine for me using
it, but someone else might have troubles
.................................. ah fuck 'em :)

*looks through MP3-CD catalogs :)*

I've got the Rio Volt SP90
It's a bit more expensive but the battery life isn't bad at
about 10 hours

CD MP3 players are the way forward!
