Went and treated myself to "THE" CD/MP3 player ( CNet and Designtechnica review) - iRiver 550. I wanted a CD MP3 player since I had a lot of MP3 in CDs and had too many CDs too that had not been ripped. Take a look at its features:
- Plays MP3, WMA and ASF music files
- CD-R, CD-RW support
- Slimmest MP3 Player (17.3 mm thick)
- Approx. 145g (Excluding Batteries)
- Winamp playlist and ID3 (V1, V2 2.0, V2 3.0) support
- Digital FM Tuner
- 32-minute skip-free playback
- Rechargeable batteries with built-in charger
- Upgradeable firmware!
- Remote control with backlit LCD
- Sennheiser earphones
The firmware upgrade is unique. You burn the new firmware to a CD and then play that CD. Yes you do use that CD for nothing else and hence will have to throw it away, but it is so convenient.
