| 236564 | 2004-05-14 09:22:00 | Hi guys I was just wondering whats the difference between a discman that can play CD-R and a discman that can playing MP3 cds? Or are they the same thing? I heard that most cd players can play Mp3 disk is that true? Thanks Jase Sen |

| 236566 | 2004-05-14 09:53:00 | Most CD players can play a CD with the tracks converted to .cda files (done automatically with Nero, etc) but only those specifically designed to do so can play .mp3 files. | Susan B (19) | ||

| 236568 | 2004-05-14 10:23:00 | No. To play MP3's a CD player needs a CPU and program loaded. Thats expensive. Its not provided unless you buy an upmarket model that states it is capable. Most are not. |

| 236572 | 2004-05-15 10:56:00 | I share your thoughts Promethius, You and others have advised about the CD players..The buyer needs to ascertain the the specs of the player. Most wont play MP3's, but some others will. Check the specifications.. | Bazza (407) | ||
