just a quick word here : my gadget-loving husband was recently
mailed a fax advertising a cute little toy, and just had to order one...
and it's quite brilliant!
It's a Compro MP3 Spinner (MP3 Audio CD Player, MPCD-455) -
bright electric blue and looks like any other recent portable disc
player) and it's come in wonderfully handy, since I've just returned
from a 5-day stay in hospital, and before going in, I made myself
one CD-R comprising 117 floaty, drifty ambient MP3 tracks (from my
collection) which came to a total of 11:20 hours (!!!). I basically
needed to take along nothing else but this one CD-R, put it on
random play, and lie there in a post-anaesthetic daze, letting Global
Communication, Kenny Larkin and early Speedy J gently swoosh
over me. Highly recommended.
This same device was reviewed in our local SA Computer Magazine
last month, and got very well rated on outstanding sound quality (it
comes with rechargeable batteries as well as mains plug, and also
has a line-out to play through your hi-fi system, and sounds really
decent on headphones too).
It was also handy to have around, since friends popped in to visit
me, and brought along CD's to cheer me up, and I had the means to
play them immediately without waiting to go home first.
So I'd chime in here with "God bless technology" and wish you all a
good holiday weekend.
