ANyone know if you can get a one of these, but to play Cd's or Cassettes? You know the Radio that somebody invented but it don't need batteries. You wind it up.

the radios are junk, wind for a minute for 1/2 hour? What a waste, sounds okay until you wind for a whole minute, which seems like forever.

I wanted to get a mp3 player which has a battery charger. But I heard it runs out after 1-2 years depending on how many time you use it. Bit of a con if you ask me. That's why I thought about this windup Machine. I think I'll just get a normal CD Player, which plugs into a socket.

You can likely find one that uses normal AAA rechargeable batteries instead of a proprietary arm-and-a-leg battery system. They all plug into the wall to recharge the batteries.

 

You can save a lot more content on an MP3 unit, and they have no moving parts like the CD players. They have to last longer than a CD player.

They do have moving parts. The hardrive [mp3 players usually 1 gigs and over] uses some kind of machine, [hear it ticking]. I heard if you drop it [the mp3 player] it can easily break it.

 

I wonder if in years to come, they invent a Mp3 player you can plug into some part of your body, and it powers it. Could say the body is like a battery [sleep recharges it]. When it's no longer usefull the Soul takes another Battery. Until it reaches a body which according to it's own nature. lol. From Mp3 to Soul.

This one even uses only one rechargeable standard AAA battery:

I never use my old CD player anymore. MP3 is always ready to go. All those internet MPs songs, books, lectures ready to travel in a tiny package. 256 MB would give you nearly 24 hours of listening without reload.

 

I bought an expensive 20 gig hard-drive Sony but realized I didn't need so much space and that if I had one a tenth the cost it would be less stressful on handling the unit. 256 or 512 Megs will keep anyone happy. And if I have a few cheap AAA rehargeables handy it would be better than the 20 hour proprietary battery in the Sony which will eventually go dead and become unavailable after a few years.

 

But MP3 is far more practical than a CD player. No comparison at all. You will be sorry if you go CD.

BTW, Sony's last forever - for only a few bucks more. Better sound too. I have a large TV and cassette walkman from 1988 still working, and three monitors from 95 still flawless. I have 9 Sony products - and none have ever failed.
