CD player/ MP3


Hey folks. Long time no post eh?

Anyways, i am wanting to find a standard component sized cd player that also has a hard drive built in with the ability to rip CD onto Mp3.

I know most people on here balk about MP3, but it would certainly be handy during a party or when im working around the house to have something i can create playlists and such

I dont own a computer (i get on here through work) and i really dont want to buy one either. I dont care about downloading music, i just want to be able to burn 100 gigs worth of music and have a basic jukebox integrated to my system.

Im looking for something cheap too.

What i DONT understand is i have a DVD Recorder/burner with 100GIG HD that can record off comcast, regular cable, and any other source and burn the contents to a DVD. That cost me a mere 400 dollars and works fantastic.

So far all i can find are super expenive overloaded systems that are way beyond what i want, like that system from Olive. I dont want to pay for features i dont want to use. I dont want to buy a computer, I dont even want to BURN Cd's. All i want to be able to do is find a system that has 100 gig HD that i can rip my CD's onto and play them on my main system with basic search/playlist functions for under 400. And i would like a remote. (which is how much i paid for my 100gb HD DVD Burner which as far as i can tell is far ahead in technology)

Does anyone make something like this?

And if not... does anyone know why the hell not? I cant find anything that isnt damn near $1000

You may want to look for a Sony HARD1000. It has a digital out so you can hook it up to your existing DAC if you have one.

I think this is discontinued, but you may be able to find a used one. Audio Consultants in Chicago used to have one for around $200 used, but I don't see it on their website anymore. I almost bought this myself since I was going down the same path as you are.
