Ok, so i'm look for a cheap mp3 player since i only have about 80$ Now i could get a 256 mb flash drive(msrp alot higher than 70$ which is the price that im getting it for)

or the SONY MiniDisc Player. Now i was getting the MD until i saw how small and compact the first one is. But i think the MD could hold more. And im thinking that the 256 would be easier to manage. So any opinions?



EDIT: Made a big edit since i decided to fix up the old bike-a-roo

O ya..my old bike which was really bad(very heavy to pedal, and kinda rusty) is still in the back so i might just fix that up. See i had mags and at the ,moment the mags have broken off of the actual circular wheel. But i dont know if it would be worht it. I may just do that but im not sure how much an actual wheel with spokes would cost me.

Read my mind. I won't try to digest that until the post is improved...

Oh, it's not that bad. He didn't stick in a bunch of l33t speak or stupid AOLisms. The huge link is annoying though, TwiZtid. You should use the url tag to shorten than a bit.

I would go for the 256MB MP3 player. I believe the MD player requires you to convert your MP3 & WMA files to ATRAC3 while you put them on the disc. This slows down the process indefinately.

Next time when you write a topic sentence. Try to be a little more vague.

I have the Nomad I picked it up at Amazon when it was on sale for 74.99. I really enjoy it so far.

Is this true? That's lame! Are all Sony MD players like this? I was considering buying one in the near future, but now I'm not so sure. :?

Pretty much, yeah. None of them play any popular lossy formats like mp3 or ogg or wma. The new HD minidiscs can handle PCM, though, so you can have uncompressed cd rips if you want, but other than that you'll have to convert your entire collection into ATRAC. For more info check here: http://www.minidisc.org/

PS: For anyone considering minidisc, definitely get the HD version. The extra storage space and ability to store computer data is worth it.
