I think you hit the nail on the head here. While it looks cheap
initially, you have to factor in the cost of a CD burner for your
computer if you don't have one. They are starting to come with
computers as part of the package, but it still isn't very common. So
$102(player) + $299(burner = a $400 mp3 player that can't reach the same
compression rate as MD. The MPTrip maxes out at 192kbit mp3's... and if
i remember right MD is equivalent to 320 or 356kbit MP3?
