on radios and such NAC

[Brendan Maguire]

Just a little story on Cd players that can play MP3's.  While burning a CD, 
I accidently left the music as MP3 files instead of ripping them into WAV's. 
  Well I put the disc into my 1997 Pioneer CD player and the music still 
played although with A LOT of static (much like a radio station sounds when 
not receiving a good signal).  This got me thinking.... I wonder how many 
other CD players can play MP3's even thought they aren't listed as doing so. 
  Well I put that same disc into my girlfriend's NEW Panasonic CD player and 
it played perfectly.  Seems as if some CD players have been able to play 
MP3's for quite some time now.  So before you pay $150+ for a MP3 compatible 
CD player, test your existing CD player.... it may just surprise you!

You can go the cheap way. Buy a portable CD player and connect it to the
radio via cassete tape player plug in. Or, you can buy an FM modulator and
the radio will pick up thru antenna. Radio shack has modulators for about
$39.
I burn my own music CD's on my PC.
The portable CD player works fine for me.

I'm watching the ads for portable Cd players that can play MP3 formats. Rio
has one for $150. Some no name brand had one last week for $99.
Six months ago, the prices were $300 and only one model. Another couple of
months and the prices should break the $100 barrier. I might buy one then.
