And if you want to record what's on the computer, well this may come as a surprise but there are programs, which run on your computer, which allow you to do this. It's amazing I know, but it is actually possible. Imagine that, running a program on your computer...

I'm sure there are better solutions - are any of your proposals accessible and affordable for music intended to be portable?
My top of the line MD player cost £220+ back in 2001; it's served 9 years almost, at a cost of less than £37/year and hasn't faded or died yet. Can you say the same for your flash drives?
I've had 8 computer hard drives; 5 of which have failed since that time. They cost as much as my mini-disc player too.
Mini-disc is a fantastically cheap (and even cheaper) option for quality audio playback music. It might not be the latest nor best, but it is better than the quality of a new iPod. Isn't that funny how the best of older technology can still have a (small) place today...
Anyhoooo...be interested in any links to those Microtrack things you've mentioned. They sound interesting, especially if they are portable and the quality is better than MP3...
