Advantages: Way better than Mp3!, Way better than Mp3!, Way better than Mp3!

Disadvantages: Out of style, Out of style, Out of style

Mp3 at 128kb/s on a 128mb RCA RD1070 Lyra MP3 player--33 songs, 5 corrupt.
MDLP at LP2 Stereo (132kb/s) recording mode with Sony MZN505S MD walkman--37 songs, no corruption.

I can't believe that this debate is even on! It's pretty obvious that MDs are the future, Sony Net MD's at least! With MDLP stereo recording mode, you can hold twice as much as a 64mb mp3 player can. My Sony MD comes with G-shock protection, I've dropped it from 1 meter 3 times and it still doesn't skip! The battery life is also worth considering, my MD only requires an average AA battery to last 50 hours, when Mp3 players only last 8-12 hours. My MD was only around $30 canadian more than a 128mb mp3 player, definitely worth the money.

The only advantage Mp3 players have over MD's are there size, but a MD is also small enough to fit in your pocket. So don't waste your money on a Mp3 player, MD's are the future!

Hiya and a slightly belated welcome to dooyoo ;)

A nice first op but I have to agree with some of the comments below. If you need any help feel free to contact me via my profile page.

Have fun here ;)

I agree with marconad, some more technical information would be useful when comparing the two. Maybe the mp3 you got was just faulty, or the software that came with it was not very good. Do all mp3 players suffer with the problem you describe? I guess not. The Sony netMD is absolutely brilliant though.

Good first op and welcome to dooyou :-)

a good op, but more on technical specifications of the formats would have made it better ! bye!
