1. Mp3 format is only a toy, considering its sound quality.
2. Using mp3 player, how many songs can you record each time? I can enjoy hundreds of songs easily with a coupe of MD discs in pocket, when walking or driving.
3. Using CD player with mp3 playback ability, don't you need pay extra money for the recorder?
4. Besides, I can record nearly any sound such as radio and human voice up to hours simply with a sound recording line/micphone and only one MD disc.
5. Everything has its advantage, however. In my opinion, a computer and a MD recorder/player, or a CD player and a MD rec/player, will compose a perfect system.
