CDs or MP3 Players?

I would have to go with MP3 Players. So much more space, and you can even play videos on some. I love multimedia devices.

This question seems too narrow. I'll put it this way though, I use a computer-as-source setup.

Never CDs... well, to rip the music from, or burn the music to, but never for listening.

When I'm home that I use the computer (if I'm given a CD to listen to, I rip the music then listen, rather than listen to the CD first), and when I'm not I use my MP3 player.

CDs in the car. Always. Guess I'm living in the past.

I actually have a huge CD collection, but also have 2 IPODS. I usually listen to CD's when im driving or workingout, but IPOD everywhere else

I wonder if they'll ever create something to load onto your MP3 player besides a CD.

For example:
You buy a cd
Bring it home, rip to computer
If you have mp3 player, then you transfer the songs
If you have an ipod you have to load them into the library
then transfer the songs.


INSTEAD
They should, sell like USB drives, that only have approx. 20-50 MB on them, but they're the CD, and you just plug that into your ipod/mp3 player, or even your computer...

Maybe i'll patent the idea -_^

So basically, you want to cut the PC out of the equation?

USBs will replace CDs?


*rushes to create such a thing*

Cut out the PC in the transfering to your mp3/ipod equation yes.

If you wanted to have them on your computer, then put the usb drive into your computer and load 'em on!

USB players could change the world as we know it...

This won't work because it is many magnitudes cheaper to factory press a CD than manufacture USB flash drives.

<3 my ipod. just got a new one since my last one was stolen

Why do you even need a USB? They could just have plug in stations at stores, etc. There'd have to be an archive of what you've bought in case you lost the mp3s though. Or you'd have to keep receipts or something.

A digital distribution system? (read: downloaded) Sounds like the RIAA's worst unfounded nightmare.

Works well for itunes and such. Although Universal's trying to fuck itunes over.
