Do u have something like this: http://www.easybuy2000.com/store/pro...3_discman.html

If so check out the instruction manual towards the bottom of the page. This does let one use CDRWs and pretty cheap!!

On a related note, I wanted to ask: are these MP3 players really that useful, Ok i mean the hitherto industry standard of RAM stick/ZIP Disc type mp3 players. Especially for a person with a slow connection
(a) Do the mfg-er provide legal mp3s/sites or is the user relegated to scouring the net for "ez" ending here today, gone tomorrow sites?
(b) What about when diallup connxn is the norm?
(c) are they flash"upgradeable" to a recognize a different bit-rate or a better format should it be available?

These are the questions that keep me awake at night ....

Cheers
