iPod beater???

Just the thing for a weekend of uninterrupted music. I wonder what
"compressed at 48 Kbps" means for sound quality.

Just the thing for a weekend of uninterupted music at the quality of
my digital answer machine. 48kps...... don't make me laugh!

I'll stick to my iPod, which also I'll point out to Sony, has no
external moving parts.

I wonder if the new HD-MD will be able to play MP3's? Isn't the MD
format similar, but incompatible?
