Jeff- I can't compare the other formats, but I have been using a minidisk player w/Etymotic ER6s at the gym. The player is smaller than a deck of cards and about 1/2 the size of an ipod. I have been using a 4:1 compression scheme thats built in, the allows about 320 minutes on each mini-disk. Sound quality is quite acceptable and with the Etys weighing just a few oz.,its a VERY portable set-up. You can record digital to digital or directly from the analog outs on your CDP.
MP3? MD? I'm Clueless
G'day all,
I travel a lot, and just finished dragging my Panasonic portable CD player, Headroom Airhead amp, Grado 60's, and a dozen CD's with me all over Asia. Heavy, bulky...what a pain, there has to be an easier way to enjoy tunes on the road.
While in Hong Kong I perused the MP3, MD, and iPod players but I honestly don't have a clue how these formats compare. What are the most obvious differences? What sounds best? Can I copy CD tracks on to these, or do I have to download compressed files? How do you program these miniature wonders? Which format is the most cost effective, sounds best, and is easiest to use? Thanks to all who take the time to educate me. Best, Jeff
p.s. I'm not Clueless, he already hangs here. I should have said I don't have the foggiest
