I'm looking to get one. Don't think I can justify HD based ones like
the Rio or Ipod - why spent hundreds of pounds on that when I can get
100 blank cds for £30? Unless perhaps someone can talk me into it -
is there one with the size of the Ipod (roughly) but the cost of the
Rio?

The Sony d ne511 mp3/cd player looks ok. Does anyone know what the max
bitrate it can handle playing backin MP3s? On line it mentions up to
128 bps but i'm interested in 160 or 192. Sony's website is hopeless.
