can anyone reccomend a good mp3 recorde?-
I would get a minidisc- but I'd rather just record into mp3 format- no
moving parts, and nothing too dinky.
thanks ya'll

How useful are these things in terms of playing a whole album in the correct
track order from a CD-R(W) full of MP3s? Because I have all of my CDs
converted to MP3 format and recorded to CD-R's. It would be nice to be able
to carry around one CD for 7 or 8 albums rather than 7 or 8 separate CDs,
but it seems like the current crop of MP3-CD players aren't very good at
finding specific tracks or playlisting.
I've heard about a couple of "next-gen" MP3-CD players that can playlist or
search for tracks, but they're more expensive.
And besides, considering that there's that MiniDisc-only label now, and
they're releasing a MD of material from Proem in the near future, I think I
need to set aside some money to buy a MiniDisc player/recorder in the near
future.
BTW, any suggestions for a cheap MD recorder that can easily play and record
audio from my computer? i.e., not just a microphone built-in, but a line-in
jack or some such? Or should I just get a cheap player so I can play MD's
but continue using CDs for regular playback and storage...?
