MP3 Players: iPod / iriver / Zen
Kai:
That and if you're just walking around places, cd players and cases don't fit very well in pockets.
KharBevNor:
Also, many mp3 players can fit well over a hundred CDs, and it's nowhere near as big a loss if it's stolen or lost.
Merkava:
Yeah. Rather than having to track down all of the CD's you had, you can just buy another player and re-download off of your computer.
KharBevNor:
Not to mention that in a worst-case scenario a hundred CD's could easily cost about £1000, whereas most mp3 players cost about £200-300
blooflame:
All your complaining about lugging around CDs!! Sheesh you should have been there when you had to lug boxes of 7" 45RPM singles and the portable player was the size of the wheel on your car!
Actually - I can see a portable MP3 player, but the only reason for massive storage is so you don't have to choose what to load on it, you just put everything on there. If you're talking MP3s, 20GB is probably more than 24 hours of music so you're not going to listen to it all in a row (usually). So, the tradeoff is: spend some time loading the player each time you want a change, or put all your music on your player (instead of?) on your computer, and on your CDs (unless you downloaded the music).
