biggest benefits to *me* of MP3 players HIGHLY portable compared to CD player and CDs More fault tolerant, MP3 players do NOT skip when bumped or played on/near vibrating surfaces High capacity for music without interruption of changing discs On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:16 AM, wrote: > > Thanks!

Thanks! I already have an assortment (ie, a very nice HD radio with an input, a wireless "sender" with a couple of wireless speakers, etc). I just tend to find myself playing the original CDs instead. I can understand the advantages of MP3 players (ie, many CDs, ability to mix from numerous

There are a couple good alternatives for ear-whatevers in battery powered portable speakers. Email me offline and when I get home I can send you a link or two. GF gave me one as a birthday present and it works pretty well On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 9:58 AM, wrote: > > Agreed! However, the batter

I have no idea what mine is (I almost never use it), but it is a solid state Creative of some sort. 1 Gb, USB, generic as can be, and it takes one AAA battery. It's only slightly larger than a "jump drive". The user interface stinks, and most folks want more than 1 Gb anymore. There was once
