Hi, i am possibly in the market for one of these CDmp3 Diskmans, but i have heard alot that sound like crap.

which places are good to get these and what models should i look out for as being good/s***.

jb hifi has a good range of them, just stay away from the cheapies

i-river, that is all.

I concur with Dan

go hard-drive based and never worry about stuffing around with CDs again.

cds = teh lose

you can buy those 5gb mp3 players

Boku wa, Yahoo! de ausutoraria no RioVolt SP-90 o kate imasu.

mate i just got one and its bloody unbelievable. I have a Panasonic SL-SX 420 and i cant go wrong.

Bloody good investment !

oh yeah, if u suck at jap by any chance, that means i picked a RioVolt SP-90 up at some shop affiliated with yahoo australia.

sound quality is no different from a retail cd.

also, the disc will spin for 30 seconds at the start of the song, to write it to memory, then will play the rest of the song while the cd is stationary.
(no skipping what so ever)

that was $180 about 8 months ago, so should be rather cheap now

or grab $400 and go bad the creative nomad jukebox 3 from umart with 20gb space (i think)

Id rather get an ipod. They are soooo solid design wise. You can get the 10 or 15 GIG player for around $400 now too.

Im actually considering getting one. If I didnt work so much Id get one without thought but im not sure how much sue Id get out of it.

where do you buy ipods from?

must backup nuk3d, jb-hifi have the best range of all that stuff.

Ohhh, ohh, Umart have the Zen's!
Rad, im getting one :)

Was still wondering where to buy it from .. but now i know

20gb of slaw, $433, here i come

mmm nice! ^

geez, thats cheap

i just got a tiny mp3 player (xmicro)
for 170 but its only 128 meg :(

that'll teach you for rushing in and buying one...

^ aint it the truth but, i have wanted a Zen for AGES, like what? 6 months? they were 800 bucks...now they are 400! :D

im stoked with my mp3 player
only need an hours worh of tunes on it and im set;

lets see u go jogging with your ipod stacky eh?

heh jog, i doubt people would see me jog....ever. ;)

I can just put the ipod on the treadmill and alls good.

I'd use my MD if I went joggin with you Spook.. Unlike you, I'm not saving for a house and a WEDDING!!!! :)

:(

sif md

mine is sexy though.. You'd even hit it.

btw spook, congrats dude :)

(I think? :P)

Thanks for all the replies.

Tox, you should say

"boku ha yahoo de o-sutoraria no RioVolt SP-90 wo katta."

:D

I had a Samsung one, it was one of the early ones. It had 40sec anti-shcok (which was awsome, never skipped), remote, LCD and some awsome bass. It didnt go that loud, but the sounds in it was really good! I think it was about $250 in singapore.....it was the best at the time, but it was ages ago, think it was 2000! I got a marvel USB Mp3 player now.....I'd advice to get one of them instead.

btw spook, congrats dude :)

ta matey!

yar, tis a good thing despite how much i complain;

i think i just like complaining :)

dam straight

I'm always waiting for you to stuff up. :) and no, I'm not giving you more ram for you PC.

btw has anyone heard of CD MP3 Players being called MP3 Spinners?

i got a kenwood mp3/cd/wma thing from jb a while back, goes well, battereis dont last as long as sony walkmans etc, but it goes good and isn't bodgy :P
