I know this has already been mentioned before but here is a link for
more information in case you missed it the first couple times around....
http://www.etown.com/news/article.jhtml?articleID=2708
has information about CD/MP3 player hybrids as well as the new Aiwa car
stereo Mp3 player.
http://www.etown.com/news/article.jhtml;$sessionid$XLBCBZAAAAFL5UPZJEFCFEQ?articleID=3173
has information about the dropping prices of portable MP3 players and
where to find them.
There is a definite glitch in the portable player market though. the
price of a 32 meg flash card is around $90 and the price of a 64 meg
flash card is around $200. the price of the players themselves are in
the same range so if your gonna buy a portable player and only want to
spend $50-$100 keep in mind the expanded memory is gonna cost you. look
for a player with at least 32megs on board or removable flash memory. i
have found that MP3's encoded @ 56kbps (as opposed to 128) sound just
fine and at that bitrate an entire cd can fit onto a 32 meg flash memory
card.
and although completely off topic but internet related - Netscape
released Communicator 4.74 (previous version was 4.7) and i hope they've
worked out some of the bugs....
cheers.
