I got a email from a retailer that I have placed orders with notifying me that they had sony mini-disc players for cheap .
They are refurbs but they come with a 90 day warrenty which seems appropriate . I know pretty much nothing about these other then my neighbor had one and it seemed pretty cool.
From what I see you can store mp3's on these little discs and it will play them back ?
Can you also store cd quality music on them and does this player in particular have pretty good specs.
The purchase price on this is 39.99 + 8.00 in shipping . Is that reasonable . :grin:
