"MP3 player question"

OK, i am looking for an MP3 player with at least 64mb space on it, the kind where you download the songs from your comp to the player. I dont really want one which plays MP3 CD's as i dont have immediate acces to a CD-RW. The one on SR fits these criteria but some of the customer reviews are dodgy. I have seen this one - - but need someone to explain to me as to what it does, (i think it runs off CD) Preferably the price needs to be around £50/£60. Any recommendations?

(I dont think this is Prohibited on SR as they only have one possibility. Sorry if it is!)

I have decided to get this one from SR;
AV PLUS 32MB MP3 PLAYER ( AV3202H )
It is cheap, and although it only has 32mb, it can have an extra 128 added to it, which i can get really cheaply. My average track size is about 3.5mb, so a total of 160mb would give me space for 45+ tracks which is good enough for me.

Just re-read your inital post. A NET MD seams out of you price range slightly. :P

Can't be bothered atempting to type out all the symbos wrote: Any specific make of MD?

Sony are the best to go for.

How do you go about putting music on it etc?

Various ways. If copying a CD from a Hi Fi you use an optical(digital)cable or a line cable in the headphone socket.

If, like you want music from you're PC, you'll need a NET MD(cost £170+). You just simpley download MP3 files on to the MD(i think). You say you have LOTS of music, so 64meg i think might only be about 20 tracks. A single MD on LP4 mode will record 70+ tracks on it. the player might cost more than a MP3, but you can store alot more on it. A pack of 10 recordable MDs costs a tenner, but another 64meg stick for a mp3 might cost £40 and still doesn't hold nowhere near as much.

I found these on Ebay; all are Sony.

Anyway if you have the time to check these out give me your opinion on them. I still need my questions on Minidisc players answered! Thanks

Well i have a few hundred MB's of MP3's on my laptop, and every so-often, i sort them out into the ones i like the most/listen to the most etc and i have found that i normally organise them to a 64Mb limit. All i want really is a means of potable audio, where i can quickly transfer MP3's from my laptop, without the need of using endless CD's etc.

About £2-300 over his budget.

Any specific make of MD? How do you go about putting music on it etc? If the price is right i might consider it instead. What files does it accept etc?

I'm a MD man myself. Get a net MD and you're sorted. When limit yourself to 64 meg of space when a MD can hole 320 minutes of music on one disk?

iPod

Well Thanks a bunch guys!
