gbrunsdon Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 My partner has a himd portable machine but she cant really get on with it - what with having to change discs etc etc.... so I thought it might be easier for her if I got her an mp3 player..But - I'm worried that she will be dissapointed with the sound quality! So - I wondered if its possible to buy an mp3 player that will sound (almost) as good as himd?If it could also store as many cds as possible - that would be very helpful.Advice appreciated - thanks - Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 try one of the Sony portables, atraclife might point you in the right direction. A 1 gig disc at moderate compression holds a lot of music, really not a problem, I find it hard to find what I want on the ipod that was given to me, but I'm always content with any of my MD's and a few discs, relic from the 60's I guess,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 the 919 does look kinda sexy dont it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately those players are getting as rare as Hens TeethThe newer one's (A818) are quite sexy as well -- No ATRAC however but direct Drag 'n drop from MP3 and a few other formats.Quality is "Passable" but even when I use the USB connection on a sony car radio the same musuc encoded at max poss mp3 extreme (320) doesn't sound as good as my HD minidisc using the Aux Line in on the same radio and the music on my MD is at ATRAC 256 Hi-SP.Connect up to a high quality amp and the difference is obvious.Depends on what your listening needs are.Cheers-K Edited July 13, 2008 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrunsdon Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 might persuade her to stick with md - if there really isnt anything that sounds as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
