Sony Minidisc NZ505

Well, i Needed a cost effective mp3 type player...My Minijam was good, but i needed a standalone. Pretty neat lil player /recorder.
Up to Five hrs on a single disc( about 2.50 a disc)and, they are rerecordable.. AnyBody have one of these? Just curious!

You might want to try a player that will play MP3 files on a burnt CD-- that way, you could play regular CD's, as well as extra long ones that use the MP3 format instead of the default- meaning 7-10 hours of music on 1 cd, and CD-R(W)'s are practically being given away these days.

Here is one I found at amazon, and I know it is at Best Buy for the same price ($80)

ToolKit,

last i checked, md players that "play mp3s" was a misnomer. the files are converted from mp3 format when being transferred to the md.

why sony has not put out an md player that will actually play mp3s as mp3s, i have no clue.

Well, that is exactly what i got. I know it uses open mg software, (atrac3) but, i mainly got it for its size, and the ability to connect to a source wtith a optical cable. and its small.(easy to take to the gym for workouts)
