This is doing my head in. For the past few weeks I've been looking for an EXPANDABLE portable flash MP3 player, with a line-in jack.
I've previously relied on mates recording the sets whenever I play out with their Minidiscs. I then have to wait for them to rip and encode the files to post on the net, as I have not got and do not need a Minidisc player. This, as you can imagine, gets very tedious, very quickly.
Now, I remember a few years ago the majority of portable MP3 players had MMC/Compactflash expansion slots (probably because flash memory was still expensive and the players all had 32MB built-in). However, the only ones I have managed to find now are a couple from the MPIO range: http://www.mpio.com/goods/mp3player.php
And surprise surprise, the one that has both features I need (DMB Plus) cant be found for sale, and the rest have either expansion or line-in, not both.
So, has anyone come across a portable player that a) has a line-in socket, b) has expandable memory, and c) is available to buy?
Many thanks in advance!
P.S. The reason I need expansion is that I loathe paying over the odds for a player over 128MB (that I'll probably lose within time anyway), and will need to record 5-10 1 hour long sets a night which even at 128K/s have no chance of fitting on even 256MB player.
