$99!!! Where is it? I'm ready to buy it right now! Some online shop in
Russia is selling a Chineese OEM discman able to play ordinary music CDs and
mp3 CD-ROMs as well. Up to 192 bps. I would like to buy it but the price is
$244. I decided to wait a little bit for a market to be filled with those
and price lowered. But if someone sells it for a hundred bucks I think it's
more than worth it. I have more than 20 CD-ROMs full of mp3s and can't wait
to play them outside my room or office or aat least in normal
non-soundblaster quality without having to burn them on CDs.
