Yeah....Price is a big issue for me. So you can't find one under 150 American dollars? damn....I hope prices drop before i turn 16.

They already dropped. You will find plenty of 20GB mp3 players for under $100 if you do a search....you could start at ebay, but search all the discount retailers as well.

You just have to search a bit further! I easily found a Dell 20GB ("open box") one on eBay for a "buy it now" price of $99 earlier today. Of course, if you live outside the US, you may find prices higher

Re: New Version does not Covert MP3's

maybe i'm searching wrong, adaywayne. What search terms did you use? I simply typed in "mp3 cd player"

If you'll notice, he's referring to a portable HDD-based player. Also, the Dell Jubebox doesn't play ogg IIRC.

Re: New Version does not Covert MP3's

oh.... well if it's an HDD player, and it's under 100 bucks, show me.

I typed <mp3 player> into eBay.

I thought that's what he wanted.... a portable 20GB player which means it must have a hard drive.

Also, the Dell Jubebox doesn't play ogg IIRC.

OK...I forgot about the OGG, but one can't be too fussy for $100. Now, for ~$200 he could get a 20GB Rio Karma which does play OGG files. His original price limit was $150 so a litlle searching for a used one on eBay may come close.

Re: New Version does not Covert MP3's

That's my point. Players that support the Ogg Vorbis codec are SOOOOO friggin' expensive. I said earlier that I hoped that prices will drop by the time I turn 16.....so......

Re: New Version does not Covert MP3's

Well I like to experiment. Besides, I don't have ANY kind of portable player yet, cuz my parents won't buy me one... But when I get my MP3 CD Player, I want to learn somehow how to put the OGG codec into it....I don't care if my future MP3 CD Player looks abused or anything.....:lol:

Just found this and thought you would be interested, neil. Building your own mp3/portable player. It can probably be adapted to also play ogg, but I don't know how. http://web.media.mit.edu/~ladyada/make/minty/index.html
