Ok, if there is another thread that answers my questions, please just point me to it.
I am going to be graduating from college in about 8 weeks, and then I will be spending the next 4 months working in the mountains of North Carolina as a raft guide at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (stop on by!). My computer is getting sold to my younger brother (my beautiful 1000MHz baby...what have I done???). Anyway, I want to burn all my favorite MP3's (about 300) to some good CDR's and take them with me.
What MP3/CD player should I get? I don't need to play VCD'z or even regular CD's. I won't be boating with it, so I don't need any water-resistant features. Just laying in my bed with some nice headphones, or listening while driving in my car from river to river (I kayak, too). My last "Discman" was a refurbished, 1st generation Sony that skipped every time I looked at it wrong, so I'm sure I won't be dissappointed by what is out now. I guess having ID3 tag support would be nice, but all I really need is to see the filename or *some* indicator of what file is next on the disc. Rechargable batteries would also be cool, but I have a digital camera and a large set of 1550mAh (AA) batteries and a rapid charger, so that would just be gravy. My only other requirement is that it have a WORKING ANTI-SHOCK system for the MP3 playback.
I would like to spend less than $150, but graduation should see me pull in the cash big time (payback for never getting an allowance), so I'm not *that* limited with my budget on this one. Any suggestions would really be helpful.
Thanks,
Aaron
