I have a CD/mp3 player, I use it for my car = it's well worth it since i can just use that instead of having to put in a million normal CD's into my car.

And yea, space isn't a problem, i have way too many songs...heh.

Also, about having to browse through all the songs - my CD/mp3 player has a menu system that you can browse by alphabetical title order (useful as well)

I ran out of space on my MP3 player and still need to burn more CDs of MP3s to play...I think you run out of space faster than songs.

I'd rather have a car mp3 compatable player. Discmans won't do much for me.

Since no one else has really put any cons, I will...

I have a CD-R/RW/MP3 capable cd player, however, when making cds, I still create them in cd audio format instead. The reasons are:

1. Although you could fit about, i dunno, 20x the amount on to a single mp3 cd, then you would have to -- search through 100 songs to find the one you want to hear!! (even if you organize them in folders, its annoying..)

2. cd player makes long, loud, obnoxious noise when its first decoding an mp3 cd. =\

3. batteries go much faster while playing mp3s (ok, this isn't really a prime reason i dont use them, but its still a con)

4. Biggest reason--- If I made cds to listen to in mp3 format for this cd player, I could then not listen to those same cds in the car, which can't read mp3. I don't know of any car players that can, but im sure there probably are ones. Mine, however, does not. And therefore, I would have to make different cds to use in the car, which would be really annoying.

Time for me to add a bit here. Like others have said before, MP3 players for cars is still new but there are many out there that are very affordable. My next purchase will be an MP3 player for the car. Already got my eyes on a nice Sony.
Minidisc technology is something that came here a few years ago and never really took off. They are very very durable so scratching isn't a big concern. However you do need not only the reader but you also need to buy a recorder. This gets very expensive, which is the main reason they aren't very popular.
Although MP3 technology isn't that common outside of computers it is going that way. Getting a device that reads in this format would be a good investment. Putting more music on 1 disc is seen as very convient, even though they may be cons to it. Having 1 CD instead of 10 CD's seems to be more convient.
These are JMO.

The day they make a digital player, or cd player, that can read... MIDIs, I will be in heaven.

Can you just imagine? You could fit practically tens of thousands of songs onto one cd! .. too bad no one likes midis anymore.. i remember back when everything was midis.. (hehe, I was looking at some really old files i had on a zip disk the other day, I had some music on it, and it was all in .mp2 format.. lol.. (though, on another off-topic, i thought mp2 was supposed to be audio encoding for avis, not just an earler version of mp3? guess not though..))
