If you are rich as hell, go ahead and buy it. But for the price your paying for this, you could get a great Mini Disk player, and even plenty of discs for over 6,000 minutes of recording time with the same sound quality!  Dont believe me? Goto the Mini Disc section and do the math! Even better,  you can record mp3's onto the MiniDisk players, you can also record your  voice, your playstation/N64/Dreamcast, VCR, TV, Radio, Tape,  everything!  I almost bought an mp3 player, and im glad i didn't. MP3's  are too expensive compared to Mini-Disks, and if you look at the Mini Disk  trend right now, its exactly like the CD trend 10 years ago. They are  already making Mini Disk drives fro computers to store info. Just check out  the Mini Disks before you buy this, trust me, you'll thank me. If you have  any questions, email me, Ill answer them asap!
