The Panasonic SL-SX420 plays MP3s and audio CDs. It also supports CD-Rs and CD-RWs, all for $50. I have one and I like it.

get a mini cd player that supports mp3s. They still hold a good few hours of music, but they dont look like, or weigh as much as a discus.

Don't get mini-disc, they're expensive and so are the discs.
Just get a cheap mp3 player so you can burn MP3 cds that are VERY cheap, you can still play your old cds, and you can share cds with frieneds.

true, but all mp3 players appear to have rubbish battery life whereas minidiscs can last upto something like 60 hours.

Minidisc players are cool, I love mine, got a lot better battery life than any portable CD player. They are a lot smaller too.

Whatever you do don't get a RioVolt SP150... The sound quality is horrible... not as good as my Sony Walkman that doesn't play MP3's... I was so disappointed by that... that I went back to my regular walkman and kept burning Audio CD's.

Dont bother with mini-disc.

Cheap portable cd players today will last at least 10 hours with anti-shock on. While this is nothing compared to mini discs, a pair of AA rechargable batteries will set you back next to nothing, and most cd players have a built in recharger. Just remeber to plug it into the mains every couple of days and youll be fine.
Plus, look at the price of mini-discs. A cd-rw disc is much better value.
