If this is the case, then there will be not much ( if any ) extra compression of mp3s on the minidisc. I've been tempted to get a Rio or something similiar, but I really feel that it's worth waiting a year or two in the hope that flash ram will come down in price as the market grows. Between Digital camera, mp3 players, and PDAs. When I can get a portable MP3 player, that holds at least 2 hours music for less than $200, then I'm there. -- hjw

MP3 is 10:1 and Minidisc is 4:1.... which leaves err.... 210 megs of data for MP3 files. Aaron
