Good choice on going with the MP3 discman, it's nice to be able to play regular CD's. Some smart engineer needs to build a discman/harddrive hybrid with a built in MP3 encoder. That way you could go to a friend's house that has a huge CD collection, plop their CD's into your discman and rip all their music to MP3 on the built-in harddrive. They might as well throw in a burner as well so you could then rip to MP3 CD when your harddrive filled up and you didn't have access to dump your music to a PC.
I'd call it the Pirate MX or something - it would be huge with the kids.
