scoggy Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 I have an Encino Voyager and it works pretty well. The anti-skip for mp3 cds is really good (60 second) but normal audio cds isn't great (5 seconds). That doesn't really bother me though since I'm using mp3 cds 90% of the time. They sell for around $200 Canadian which is a pretty good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted February 27, 2001 Author Share Posted February 27, 2001 The reason i ask is because i really like music and away from my klipsch's i have no way to listen to my mp3's and burning them to CDA files to play in my cd player is to expensive. I read from Yahoo! magazine that pineusa.com has the best but also heard that this other one, the Sonicblue Rio Volt (MP3/CD Player) was really the best. it is $169. it has a 2 minute MP3/WMA ESP system and a 40 second CDA format ESP. Is there a Minidisc MP3 player? that way you could put the same amount of music on it and it would be a smaller player... i do not mind if one of those costs like $300 because i have a Sony computer taht has special software for minidiscs and those sony memory cards... the other reason that i want to get a CD MP3 player is because the CD's are like 30 cents and the memory cards are like 90 bucks... way way way too expensive. thanks again... ooh! i am upgrading my v.2-400's to the 4.1's for only $50 cause i bought them at Tweeter Home Intertainment... i bought them from teh store but online they may have the same 356.1-1 policy where if in a year they are upgraded you get a free upgrade. i can not wait to get the new ones even though i have never had scratchy noises or hissing... guess i am lucky, that or i have the new pre amp.... i got these like january 20th. see ya later ppl! and thatnks for your help... hope it keeps coming! LoL!!! ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapgt Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Value for money wise, I think you can't beat the Riovolt. A friend of mine bought one and I was quite impressed with it, although it is a little bulky compared to my discman, but from my understanding that is to be expected with mp3 cd players. Most of the other mp3 cd players that are cheaper than the Riovolt lack a good LCD display, and that is a feature that I would assume one would want. Anyway, just research the facts for yourself on the web and base your decision on that. -snap- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted February 28, 2001 Author Share Posted February 28, 2001 I almost amde a rally bad mistake~! I was looking at these players and i saw the A-MAX Technology Napa DAV310 MP3/VCD player... looks really cool, plays cd, mp3 cds, video cds (!) has a wireless remote (!) and a lithium battery. i was ready to hit the check out button but decided to check out what other users said about it.... Whew~! 100% of the ppl who bought it said that they would not recogmend it because it sucked majorly. well i am glad i took the research reviews advice before i bought it! still looking... do you think that there will soon be a Mini-Disc mp3 player??? i think that with firewire this could be teh premo best MP3 player cause it would be small, would not skip, and could transfer at like 400msp. well if you find anything let me know. i really and looking for one that holds allot of music, and would like it to have a radio too if possible. right now the pine technology one seems the best.... not sure though! ahhh! ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 6, 2001 Author Share Posted March 6, 2001 Well, i have come to the conclusion that i do not need an MP3 cd player cuase since i am getting a new cd radio in my car and it has a line in that i could do a lot better getting a portable jukebox like the Creative Nomad Jukebox. But... is this one the best? I really kinda like the Archos Jukebox... They have the same memory size, 6gb, and both support ID3 Tags and are small, the Archos is smaller and holds files other than audio. The navigation is supposed to be kinda hard with the Archos but i do not know anything about the creative player. does anyone at klipsch know anything? -justin ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchlove Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 I just finished bidding for the aiwa XP-R20 which has a digital tuner and CDRW/CD-R playback capabilities. It only cost me $60 so I figure it was a good deal. Check out aiwa.com for it. It retails for $90 so not a bad price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_tx_16 Posted March 10, 2001 Author Share Posted March 10, 2001 wow three replies in one day! i just found a new one.. the only problem is teh SDMI support, will that mess me up? it has a 20gb harddrive and is very small and has like the biggest LCD http://www.pjbox.com/ find any cons for me if you have the time, also some pros! LoL. the price is kinda high but comeone! 20gbs!!!!!! the archos one is supposed ot be the loudest. thanks again ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted March 10, 2001 Share Posted March 10, 2001 It looks like you have to decide between 4ch or stereo outputs(Nomad or the rest) If all your car has is stereo then the pjb and the archos stereo will be all you need. But, if you had a dts 5.1 surround system like ubid has been flushing for a couple of months, then you would be able to use the 4ch out of the Nomad Jukebox. That's if you want 5.1 surround sound in your car? And then just take it in and plug into your Klipch for surround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 10, 2001 Author Share Posted March 10, 2001 ok well here is teh car deal. i have a new honda accord ex but the radio has no inmputs that i see formt he front and doubt it has a four channel input anywhere... the car i will be driving ht most is a 94 Geo Prism. i have to put a new radio in it cause the old one just went out... on the verge of at least... so i was going to buy like a pioneer cd player radio that has a front input and plug the guy in... do you know of any good radios for less than or around 300 bucks for a car? the opening is a large one like chrysler's or fords, the radio can be the big ones... i am just full of questions! what radio that is good but not so expenssive has a 5.1 system or 4.1? i will be buying new speakers too, i will need a sub but a small one! i am sure that all you ppl can figure this out better tahn me cause i am only 16 and new to the audio world, introducved with MP3's and Klipsch Promedia v.2-400's (p.s. getting the 4.1's in a few weeks!!!) thanks again for all yalls help! ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
