5 months and no posts... wow, you've really saved up for this one, haven't you? |
|
| |
Ok, let me see if I underatand this. Is the idea so you can download the CD onto a computer (or is that upload?), then direct-transfer the downloaded content onto another disc? Or to play downloaded content from the web on your CD player? |
|
| |
wouldnt a 1Gb Ipod nano do all that for you in a smaller package. |
|
| |
It would indeed, but then you would need to suffer the indignity of owning an iPod. |
|
| |
As opposed to a //mini disk with a USB connector capable of holding up to 1 CD of music//. |
|
| |
I know what I'd rather have, despite my abhorence of all things white and beautiful... |
|
| |
well then your in Luck cause the come in Black to which looks soo much better. |
|
| |
They also come in Silver, Blue, Green and if you're interested: Hot Pink! :P (and up to 8GB) |
|
| |
If you've got an anti-fruit complex there's always other options... |
|
| |
Personally I have the 30GB Ipod with Video in Black and it is still smaller than this device would be, and it can be used as a USB drive(albiet with a cord)as well. |
|
| |
nanos also come in RED to fight AIDS in Africa. |
|
| |
now THAT is a lovely idea. |
|
| |
Thumb drive, definitely. Plug it into said USB port and have it play any mp3s on there. Maybe a little app could check for a playlist first. Minidiscs are history. |
|
| |
I've still got a very small collection of
prerecorded commercially released
Minidisc titles. Haven't played them in
years, though. |
|
| |
Newsflash! ipods (If they can't decide where to put that capital letter, I'm not going to use it) don't have a monopoly over the portable hard drive/ flash mp3 player market. They just have a crap load of advertising and a superfluous i - which lends itself to any other media they choose. |
|
| |
Anyway, back to the idea. I'm still not entirely sure I've understood it - is it a CD connected to a USB wire that fits into a CD player? Or a minidisc which plugs into a USB port on a CD player? |
|
| |
Any product these days which holds a mere 2 hours worth of music isn't likely to make it big, especially if you need to buy a new CD player with a USB port in it. |
|
| |
This idea seems to me to be essentially a normal CD that somehow connects into a USB socket. It probably has a cutout section on the edge of the CD. All the data bits printed on the CD are printed in a pattern that flows along printed connectors that flow into the USB plug along one edge. |
|
| |
>>which holds a mere 2 hours worth of music isn't likely to make it big<< |
|
| |
Ive used less than 10% of the available storage on my player and have about 2.5 days of music. |
|
| |
I believe that ifridge was referring to the idea, not to the ipod. |
|
| |
\\They also come in Silver, Blue, Green and if you're interested: Hot Pink! :P\\ Apparently, the number one way to market a product to teenage girls is to bring out a pink version. |
|
| |
It certainly worked with the Magenta RAZR. |
|
| |
CD-RWs let you erase and edit music. Also, MP3 players do the same thing, and they come in smaller size than a CD ever could. Bone for the idea. |
|
| |
I can't help thinking that [jj] intended there to be more to this idea than meets the eye. [-], but for the presentation, not the idea. |
|
| |
i use a thumbdrive to eliminate the compact disc. scratches are annoying too. |
