Ok then, what about the Sony MZ-N710? It'll be better than the Aiwa surely coz its Sony and its only $10 more... Or the Sony MZ-N10... Its $20 more but it looks good...

Yes, I've checked, they sell 8cm CD's for pretty cheap and you can burn them in a normal CD burner. Its also smaller than a cassete tape LOL The only problem with that is that the 8cm CD's only hold 180MB so I would need 2 to carry around to hold all my music collection wuch would be annoying but since they are so small at least they would fit in my pocket... I also checked, and its $125US in shops... Hmmm decisions decisions... I'm not sure carrying an extra CD would be any better than a PSP but it would sure save alot of moola (money)...

Thanks for your advice (confirmed my fear that I'm gonna have to dissapoint my parents ) It says at the very bottom that the Aiwa is 2 years old but has only been used for 1 year 'Near new condition. One minor scratch on the front cover.' which should mean its ok... I can't really look on Ebay as I am in New Zealand and it would cost a heap to pay for shipping What about the Philips Pocket Expanium? Its not a minidisc player but it is SOOOO cheap for almost new... What do you think about that?

I need help from the proffesionals (you peoples) making the decision on what Minidisc/music player to buy. I have an incredibly small budget of around $70US but I would prefer to spend under $40US as any more than that I will have to pay half with my parents for christmas and they are not happy about me spending too much money ... I only need around 300MB of space for all of my music as I dont have much and it also has to fit in my pocket because the reason why i need a new one is becuase my PSP is too big to fit in my pocket. So, I need some of you peoples help please. Which one would be best for my situation? 1. NetMD MiniDisc player/recorder, AIWA NetMD AM-NX9, $40NZD or $27USD (may go up as the auction ends on saturday) http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...asp?id=39776278 2. Hi-MD MiniDisc player/recorder, Sony MZ-NH600 $125AUD or $94USD http://www.minidisc.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=461 The last option isn't really a MinDisc player but plays 8cm MP3 CD-RW's which store around 180MB per disc. Seeing as this isn't enough, I would have to carry a extra disc apart from the one in the player with me... 3. Phillips Pocket Expanium 8CM MP3 CD-RW player $25NZD or $17USD http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...8281&permanent= So what do you people think I should get bearing in mind I have a low budget (saving for future and stuff you know? )
