Severe Paradox Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hey people, Iv finaly decided that my 5 year old sony discman's time is up and its time for something new. I went over to FutureShop and checked out what they had. (The guy that was helping me knew nothing at all) But i figured that i either wanted an MP3/CD player or a Mini Disc player. (the MD player i was lookin at was about $250 canadian) now because the helper person was no help at all, can anybody give me some pros' and cons' about these 2 devices? such as battery life, music play time etc? Input aprecciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted June 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well, if you can stretch to it, a Sony Net MD would be sweet. They can store up to 320 minutes of MP3's and can transfer via USB. Some include a docking station whereas others plug straight into your PC. I would definitely go for the Net MD, battery life on MD players is good as well. My Sony lasts for well over 20 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowpie Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I got the Mp3-Cd Player simply because it was cheaper, 100 bucks for the machine itself, 20 bucks for basically 35 GB of space(spindle of cds)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kovaco Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 MP3 CD Player is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter1234 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 $250 Canadian dollars? that's like what $50 american dollars? hehe i'm kidding. Well, MDs are cool, Sony's new netmd lets you transfer your mp3 straight to your md, but with an MP3/CD player, you can store a whole lot more music on jsut one cd. For those MDs that stores up 320 mins, you have to let it record. SO that's a long waiting time, where as you can have a full 700MB cd of mp3s in just a few mins if you have a fast burner. I say go with the MP3/CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
