MP3 is nice, but nothing beats the classicness of the Tape player!

I'd love an MP3 player, but I don't have one. o_o;

Actually, until this year, I didn't have a discman either, so that sucked. ^_^;;

CD player playing CDs full of burnt MP3s. *wins*

I have a CD player, but an MP3 player would be nice. It'd save me the rouble of burning and buying. (Don't yell at me, it's legal in Canada)

I own both....
Their both good in their own way, MP3's are good for when your walking around, you can just put it in your pocket. CD players are good 'cause well, their original.
i rip music into my computer to put into my MP3 but not all the songs can get ripped into my player so there's a down side to MP3's, the amount of space in your MP3 is limited so you must have alot of space to fit all your favourite songs.
I picked CD players as well i love it so much, i think the sound is better playing from it (even though you don't lose quality putting songs into the MP3) and mainly 'cause it's original...
though the most useful player to me would be the MD players (Mini disc players) as their small and can hold alot of songs.

I have both! The player that I have allows me to play both CDs and MP3s, but I honestly don't even know what MP3s are, lol. I only have one disc, and it was sent to me by my friend in Japan. ^_^; It plays nicely, but I still actually prefer regular CDs. Once I learn how to get MP3s or whatever then I may start liking them more, but for now... Nope.

I have both, but I never actually used my MP3 player yet. And I got it last Christmas. ^^; Whoops. But I love my cd player, even though it's on it's deathbed now. I dropped it (aka I'm a klutz and I got it tangled up with the desk and it went smashing into the ground) at some restaurant in Disney over the summer and it snapped in two... but I got it somewhat back together and it still works perfectly. Maybe if I ever get around to using it I'll like my MP3 player more...

Well I think one should realize that most cannot afford a mp3 player while a CD player is dirt cheap nowadays, hence a mp3 player's popularity isn't nearly high as the CD or tape player =\. Otherwise, mp3 players would most definitely replace any portable music device.
Plus with my music collection quickly approaching 100 GB (I use ogg q7, and mp3 vbr formats.. and maybe in the future I might change to FLAC), organizing my music is ten times easier through a computer than a book full of cds, I learned that first hand :p.

Oh I use mp3 players, an iRiver H140 to be exact. Just the thought of carrying 40 GB of music at any one time makes me glad I bought a mp3 player.

Am I back? My search continues.

MP3 players are better then cd players so much more convient to just add and remove tracks. In the past I've had several CD players, I tried to open them up and "fix" it if them wasn't working properly (due to repeated floor incidents), but of course that didn't work out too well.

But now if I have a MP3 player, I proberly won't have to worry about "fixing" it XD.

I don't get Ipods,who needs 10,000 songs lol,I don't even think i know of that many lol,but i might buy one just cause.

The bad thing though about MP3's is that you need a comp. and when you're in the car and wanna listen to a CD,and MP3 isn't gonna help lol,that's why i'll have both.

A lot of cars nowadays support certain MP3s players natively. And others have kits, and such. XP

And you don’t need 10,000 all at once, but it’s the fact that you have your entire library at your disposal at all time. No needing to pack all your CDs, or change them out. You have all the music you own right there, for whenever the mood strikes you.

You might not bother pulling out an old CD to listen to some tunes you haven't heard in a while, but when it's as simple as a click of a button, well you just may.

I still prefer CD players as in order to get songs onto your MP3's iPods or what ever you still need the CD to be ripped onto your computer.
iPods are useful but still a bit big....
