mercatfat Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 MP3 players are stupid. 128 megs? Blah. An MP3/CD player can have 700 meg discs that cost ~$1 or less a piece, as compared to $40-$75 for a new memory stick. If size matters, there's mini-cd/MP3 players now.

Darth Eggplant Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 you should try searching in america Tall Guy cause hardware and computer stuff is way more expensive in the UK plus if you shop Canadian your pound is worth 2 of our dollars, so you get more for less. *hey I hear George Lucas is installing an MP3 player into CP3O in the next Star Wars, plus adding in some Borg technology too. yes he will then be known as MP3O and he will say things like: 'Resistance is Futile. Your music will be assimilated; Oh how Rude!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyse Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Check out the new Sony NetMD players. The sound quality is outstanding the media is cheap and they're really small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Eggplant Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 this might be a silly question, but here goes anyhow, midi and mp3. they are different. I know, but I have razor lame which can comvert encode decode from wav to mp3, but how does a midi file get made? and is there a way to make them ie software applications etc? and most midi's are instrumental, cause I guess singing in midi would be like the chipmunks singing, any one have thoughts on the subject?

Gabez Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I used to have something which came with my sound card to make MIDIs. It's pretty basic. I'm no sound man either, but I think MIDIs tell your soundcard what notes come where, rather than playing 'em on their own like an MP3, hence the vast difference in size. It would explain why MIDIs sound different on different on different sound cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 You can always find incredibly low priced items at Overstock.com. I love that site. I've bought a ton of stuff from there because they have really low prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
