i'm sure the iriver 350 will also be very expensive.... metal lid, LCD remote, thin nimH/li-ion rechargeables...plus extra $$$ for the sweet design (comming from a D-ej01 owner
)... it will definately be priced in line with mid-range MD or HD based players... ][/QUOTE]
Rrp is $199...about $20 more than the entry level sony mzr500 md here in Australia. I would expect that price to fall to around $150 3-4 months after release. Your 3.5" fdd will go the way of 5.25" drives in the next 2 years, so you will most likely have a cdrw on your next pc.
As much as I would like a minidisc player for their compact size, most people seem to consider a cd player with optical output best for recording...so the added expenses begin to outweigh the convenience.
