8cm mp3-cd players

[Doc75]

Does anyone own an 8cm mp3 cd player? I have found models by Compaq IPAQ, TEAC, Samsung, and even a Philips Expanium version. THere are scarcely any reviews on the net about these, but i am pretty interested in getting one. Let me know if you guys have any experience with these...

the philips model is available at amazon
the compaq model is available at buy.com

thanks

I was also wondering if anyone has any of these. The Compaq one I'm interested in the most due to the backlit remote and small size.

You fools! For the price of any of those things, you could buy hundreds and hundreds of CD-R's that will sound much better.

Why would a cdr sound better than a mini cdr?

CompUSA has 25 mini-cdr spindles for about $12. They aren't THAT expensive.

compared to the $10-$15 for 50 or even 100 sometimes, they are 😉

But what's w/ the quality comment? I'm guessing he's implying standard cdrs will allow to hold more higher bitrate mp3's. but honestly, how good is the sound output from those cd/mp3 players?
