Mp3 Player Worth Anything?

[Tricked-Out-Toy]

Hey Huys
I bought a 04 3s about 3 weeks ago and it was supose to have the 6 disc changer in it but it had the mp3 player instead. the dealer fixed the problem and gave me the mp3 player after they installed the 6 disc. question is, is the mp3 player worth anything? and is anyone looking for one? thanks - TOT

**disclaimer** I have my CD collection as MP3's already, so conversion isn't an issue. I also own a computer and have the ability/knowledge to burn CD's. CDR are now pretty damn cheap too ($0.05 each these days if not less).

I'm still at a loss why someone would want a 6 disc changer over the MP3 player. If you have a computer and the ability to burn CD's, wouldn't you rather have the capacity to play 12+ CD's instead of 6? Not to mention, the security of not scratching or having your "original" CD's stolen. I have one CD of 160 different songs, that I just have on random play half the time. Try doing that with your 6-CD changer.

Sound quality of a 128-bit MP3 is noticable to a trained ear in an audio studio or on high end home systems. In a running Mazda3, without acoustic matting (dynamat..etc) you'll never be able to hear the difference. Hell, I'd even wager that with mid-range amp's and speakers, you'd not hear the difference.

aye man!!!

aye youre ruining it for me. lol. this is why i want an mp3 player. but if you think about it, it is much easier for those who do not know how to make a data cd to have a 6 disc changer. i too already have a cd player that can play mp3's and have to agree that having 16 different cds at your finger tips is a lot more funner. but yeah whats the price on that mp3 player?

I've seen a couple people on here talking about buying one. Search around.

well I wasnt sure that i would sell it, ive never burned an mp3 cd before so havent really seen the benefits. right now i have a ton of cd's at the regular format i guess i could give the mp3 player a try the reson they switched it out was because on the slip it said the car had it and i paid like 500+ for it so i ended up with a 6 disc and the mp3 player

I used to have a cd player, and had to keep 3 cd wallets with 40+ cds in each to have all my music on hand. Now that I have the MP3 player I have 1 cd wallet that holds 25 CDRs. On those 25 CDRs I have my entire music collection in MP3 format (over 100 albums).

i also have my entire collection backed on my computer's hard drive, so like Status said there are no worries about my CDs getting stolen or scratched. It takes about 5 minutes to copy a full CDR (between 6-10 albums) onto a new disc and costs about $.05.

With the advent of MP3 players and satalite radios the traditional CD is quickly becoming like the casset tape. If you have a computer at home, especially a MAC which makes converting files to MP3 format a simple 1 step process with Itunes, it's time to switch everything to MP3s. After the initial process of burning everything onto CDRs you will absolutly love it.

lol
ripping cd's to mp3's is pretty damn easy even without a mac or itunes
