Hello

I've been looking for an MP3 player that accepts Compact Flash cards, and I can't find one!

Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks,

Steve.

Seems like a sensible idea doesn't it? There are some but very few. For some reason the manufacturers don't use CF very much. The only option is to buy a Dell Axim (or similar) and use it to play MP3s.

Probably due to the size of CF cards as most mp3 players (portables anyway) are very small.

Hello

Thank you for your replies. It seemed like a good idea to me, I have a 256mb card for my digital camera and just wanted to use it for something else as I don't use my camera all the time.

Oh well, I will just have to buy one of those cool new flash stick/mp3 player things.

Steve.

DominicA:

Thank you for looking. Wow, that's ugly! I think I would like the USB thing now.

If you can get hold of something like this:




in either 128mb or 256mb I'd be interested.

Thanks,

Steve.
