Re: Compact Flash audio player?
 

A 256megabyte card, CD audio is approximately a little more than 1mb per
minute, so 3 1/2 is a conservative estimate. Mp3 would be much, much more.
But I don't like the way Mp3's sound, but I guess in the Jeep it wouldn't
matter, I just want to stop the skipping. The cards are relatively expensive
($75 for a 256) but they are reusable.

Re: Compact Flash audio player?
 

Hi Matt,
I wish I spent more time reading up on the digital camera, instead
of arguing here. I bought the kids digital movie cameras that use both a
tape and memory card, and the TV DVD recorder that records a hundred
hours for later viewing, then burn to disk if they like, in hopes the
would begin to convert to disc. I have the same equipment, but the
thought of converting over a thousand hours of home movies is
overwhelming! At least I recorded my 8 mm.
