I have an MP3 player. It's one of those Kodak MC3 things and as a player it's not too shabby. Unfortunately it only has 16mb, which is bad to say the least.
The problem is this, I could get a cheap 256mb compact flash card and store 50 or so songs for £60. I was fine(ish) with that until I saw the Archos Jukebox for £160 with 10gb of storage and the MP3 CD players on SR for £50 storing around 150 songs. Now I have a dillema.
So, do I
a)get the 256mb card now for my current, and fairly small, MP3 player.
b)get a CD MP3 player, which is bigger and more cumbersome, but plays CDRW disks of MP3s
c) save up for ages and try for the 10gb jukebox, which is bigger than the Kodak thing but stores many more songs.
The problem is that taking any of these to Spain each year will involve some wear and tear and I'd prefer them in my pocket to my bag for the plane. hm.
Ideas?

50 songs - around 4 albums, over 2 weeks. Not really enough.
I'll go look at jigsaw.

Mmmmmm... IPOD.
But alas, I have a MD player, and I am quite content with that.

I'd get the flash card, build up more memory, plus, your not gonna want to listen to over 50 songs. Are you?

Apple IPOD 5GB (still massive) for PC = £220.

I'm trying to get away from the idea of carrying lots of media around and only having a single piece of media, be it a CD or compact flash card. Though they sound a little superior, minidiscs seem too retro.

i have one of those mc3 things. They're pretty cool. I suggest you get the memory for the mc3 for the simple reason that it's not only an mp3 player but also a camera and video camera. :-D
But then I'd have to wait about 3 or 4 years. Apple are far too expensive. It's like wanting a sports car, but only being able to afford a coupe.
Show me an iPod for under £200 (for the PC) and I'll buy it.

I reckon you would save money by just buying an minidsic player since the minidiscs are far cheaper and if you are lookin to storea lot of songs on there you will save money in the long run because a minidisc is only a quid and stores nearly 300 mins on. Other than that if you dont want it i would try and save up for the jukebox because it sounds like the best option if you can afford it.
IPOD IPODDILY PODDILY PODPOD!
