I had a portable CD player that could decode MP3s as well as read CD-RW discs. It had a 120 second anti-skip for regular CDs which it could load a whole MP3 file into with room to spare. Once it buffered the full MP3, it would spin down the disc which saved a TON of battery. Using it with a CD-RW, it was very much a poor man's MiniDisc. Absolutely loved that thing.
Yeah, same. Also (and Alec touched on this too) ... In a world of 128MB media players, having access to 700MB was freaking amazing.
Interchangeable 700MB, and dirt cheap too.
