If you can burn MP3 CD's, then a CD player that plays MP3 formatted CD's is great.
The iPod (Apple) is far and away the best. It now comes in PC fromat too and you can burn and erase all day long.
it comes in 5, 10, and 20 GB models (the 20GB will hold an average of 4000 songs!!!) $499 at Dell and anywhere else.
