I had a portable CD player that could decode MP3s as well as read CD-RW discs. It had a 120 second anti-skip for regular CDs which it could load a whole MP3 file into with room to spare. Once it buffered the full MP3, it would spin down the disc which saved a TON of battery. Using it with a CD-RW, it was very much a poor man's MiniDisc. Absolutely loved that thing.

Hell yes. Mine lived in my big hoodie pocket, hole poked through so I could run my headphone cable invisibly. Headphones lived in the hood when I wasn't wearing them (basically never). I was the coolest ๐Ÿคฃ

Yeah, same. Also (and Alec touched on this too) ... In a world of 128MB media players, having access to 700MB was freaking amazing.

Interchangeable 700MB, and dirt cheap too.

I had something similar except it had a DVD drive. Unfortunately it was not able to read dual-layer disks, which I only discovered when I was able to play just half the songs I had burned to a disk.
